The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration on Tuesday announced the revocation of four more electronic logging devices from its list of registered devices, continuing recent moves against non-compliant devices.
As is typical with revocations, FMCSA did not provide specifics about which parts of the ELD regulations the devices were not compliant with, only that the devices failed to meet the minimum requirements established in 49 Code of Federal Regulations Appendix A to Subpart B of Part 395. Attempts to reach the companies affected by the most recent revocations went unreturned as of press time.

“If an ELD isn’t meeting federal requirements, it’s taken out of service -- plain and simple,” said FMCSA Administrator Derek D. Barrs. “We’ll keep making clear, fair decisions that put safety first and support everyone who shares America’s roadways.”
The four devices revoked Tuesday:
- PremierRide Logs from PremierRide Logs LLC
- DSG Elogs from DSG Tracking LLC
- State Elogs from State Elog LLC
- State Elogs 2 from State Elog LLC

Motor carriers and drivers have up to 60 days to replace the revoked devices with compliant ELDs. In the meantime, FMCSA encourages those using them to discontinue their use and revert to paper logs or logging software to record HOS data. Devices should be replaced with compliant ELDs by March 15.
Beginning March 15, motor carriers and drivers who continue to use the revoked devices listed above will be considered as operating without an ELD. If any of the ELD providers correct all identified deficiencies for their device, FMCSA will place the ELD back on the list of registered devices and inform the industry of the update.
