The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s electronic logging device registry cleanup effort continued this week with the revocation of 10 more devices the agency deemed noncompliant.
The list includes one ELD Overdrive reported has video evidence of logs being tampered with, and one from a provider whose previous ELD allowed a Hope Trans LLC driver to operate for 47 hours before a deadly crash.
According to FMCSA, the 10 devices were placed on the Revoked Devices list due to the companies’ failure to meet the minimum requirements established in Title 49 CFR Appendix A to Subpart B of Part 395. Like with other ELD revocations, FMCSA did not provide specifics about what caused the devices to fall out of compliance.
“We will continue to take decisive enforcement action to ensure that only compliant, reliable devices are used on our nation’s roadways,” said FMCSA Administrator Derek Barrs. “Accurate hours-of-service records are essential to protecting public safety, supporting fair enforcement, and ensuring accountability across the commercial motor vehicle industry.”

The 10 newly-revoked ELDs mark 90 revoked devices by FMCSA since January 2025.The devices revoked Thursday are:
Attempts to reach the companies for comment via email Thursday went unreturned as of press time. The PremierRide Logs device has previously been revoked by FMCSA and later reinstated.
Ontime Logs iosix comes from Ontime Logs Inc., the same company whose previous ELD, Ontime Logs PT, was revoked in November.
A National Transportation Safety Board investigation found a driver at Hope Trans had "been on duty for approximately 47.81 hours" before falling asleep at the wheel and killing five in Terrell, Texas.
Last Minute ELD was used by Prime Route, and Overdrive has published video and an investigation of a driver at that fleet calling a dispatcher to add hours to his clock using that ELD.

Motor carriers and drivers have up to 60 days to replace the revoked devices with a compliant ELD on FMCSA’s Registered Devices list. As usual for revoked ELDs, FMCSA is asking carriers to:
- Discontinue using the revoked ELDs and revert to paper logs or logging software to record required hours of service data
- Replace the revoked ELDs with a compliant ELD before Sept. 8
Prior to Sept. 8, law enforcement are encouraged not to cite drivers using the revoked ELDs for 395.8(a)(1) – “No record of duty status” or 395.22(a) – “Failing to use a registered ELD.” Instead, safety officials should request the driver’s paper logs, logging software, or use the ELD display as a back-up method to review the hours-of-service data.
After that date, however, carriers and drivers who continue to use the revoked ELDs will be considered as operating without an ELD and are subject to being cited for a 395.8(a)(1) violation and placed out-of-service.
If the ELD providers correct all identified deficiencies for their devices, FMCSA will place the ELD back on the list of registered devices and inform the industry of the update.
