Yet another electronic logging devise has been removed from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's list of registered devices.
Earlier this month the FMCSA removed three other ELDs from its list of registered devices, and in July, two others were similarly removed. The year began with six ELDs being removed in January.
Monday, the FMCSA removed ROBINHOOD ELD from the list of registered ELDs. The device was placed on the Revoked Devices list due to the company’s failure to meet the minimum requirements established in Title 49 CFR Appendix A to Subpart B of Part 395.
The removal is effective Sept. 19.
Motor carriers now have up to 60 days to replace the revoked ELD with a compliant one. FMCSA will send an industry-wide email to inform motor carriers that anyone using these revoked ELDs must take the following steps:
- Discontinue using the revoked ELD and revert to paper logs or logging software to record required hours of service data.
- Replace the revoked ELD with a compliant ELD from the Registered Devices list before Nov. 18.
The FMCSA said prior to Nov. 18, safety officials are encouraged not to cite drivers using this revoked ELD 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.
Beginning Nov. 18, motor carriers who continue to use the revoked device will be considered as operating without an ELD. Safety officials who encounter a driver using a revoked device on or after November 18, 2025 should cite 395.8(a)(1), and place the driver out-of-service (OOS) in accordance with the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance OOS Criteria.
If the ELD provider corrects all identified deficiencies for its device, FMCSA will place the ELD back on the list of registered devices and inform the industry of the update.
