FMCSA Just Revoked 10 ELDs and Owner-Operators Have Until September 8

What the FMCSA did on July 9

If you run an owner-operator truck or a small fleet, check your electronic logging device this week. On July 9, 2026 the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration removed 10 electronic logging devices from its registered list, as Truckers News reported. When a device comes off that list it is no longer an approved way to record your hours of service. The agency said the makers of these devices failed to meet the minimum requirements set out in the federal ELD regulations, so the products lost their standing. That leaves every driver still running one of them on a short clock to switch over.

The 10 devices that got pulled

The devices removed on July 9 are Ontime Logs iosix, Last Minute ELD, Porter ELD, Zee HOS Compliance, EV ELD IOSIX (formerly EVO ELD IOSIX), Light and Travel ELD, PREMIERRIDE LOGS, 2BRO ELD, 305 ELD, and TT ELD 40. If you do not recognize the brand on your dash, look at the model line on the device or in your logging app and compare it against this list. Plenty of owner-operators bought a low cost ELD years ago and never thought about it again, which is exactly how a driver ends up running a revoked device without knowing it.

Your deadline is September 8

The FMCSA gives carriers 60 days to move to a compliant device, which puts the hard deadline at September 8, 2026. Until you have a new ELD in place, the agency says you must stop using the revoked one and fall back to paper logs or approved logging software to record your hours. This is not optional and there is no grace period after the date. Any driver who keeps running one of these devices on or after September 8 is treated as having no record of duty status under the hours of service rules, and that carries real weight at a roadside inspection.

Why a revoked ELD can raise your insurance

Here is the part that reaches past compliance. A driver caught on a revoked ELD after the deadline can be placed out of service under the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance criteria. An out of service order and a no record of duty status violation both land in your safety data and feed your CSA scores. Those scores are one of the first things an underwriter pulls when it prices your policy, so an hours of service violation does not just cost you a delayed load, it can follow you into your next renewal and push your rate up. A clean inspection record is one of the strongest levers you have on the cost of your commercial auto liability and physical damage coverage, and a preventable ELD violation works directly against it.

How to check your device today

Take five minutes and confirm your ELD. Find the device or app name and its model, then check it against the FMCSA registered devices list and against the 10 names above. If yours is on the revoked list, order a compliant replacement now rather than waiting for September, because shipping and install time eat into your 60 days. Keep proof of when you switched in case an officer asks. If you have to run paper logs for a few days in between, make sure you know how to fill them out correctly, because a sloppy paper log can draw its own violation and undo the point of switching early.

Run clean and keep your rate where it belongs
