Is Your ELD Legit?

Electronic logging devices, ELDs, to record driver hours of service (HOS) have been required for most interstate motor carriers since 2016. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration adopted a lengthy list of technical specifications for ELDs. ELD providers self-certify that their devices meet those technical standards and register the devices with FMCSA. FMCSA maintains a list of those registered electronic logging devices.

Unlike Canada, which requires an independent technical review of an ELD before it is accepted for use in that country, FMCSA does not review whether the ELDs are compliant before the provider can register them. However, FMCSA will revoke the registration of an ELD should the device be found out of compliance with its technical standards.

Recently FMCSA has revoked ELDs:

1. ELD Name: ELD ONE; Model Number: OELD01: Identifier OWLA01; Provider: TMS ONE
2. ELD Name: Nationwide ELD; Model Number:1; Identifier: NWT001; Provider: Nationwide Technologies Inc.
3. ELD ELD; Model Number: 1020; Identifier: ES2022; Provider: ONE PLUS ELD (n/k/a 1 PL Logs)
4. ELD Name: All-Ways Track; Model Number: AWT01; Identifier: AWTELD; Provider: ALL-WAYS TRACK, LLC.

Additional ELD Revoked (last updated 8/3/23)

These devices now appear on FMCSA’s Revoked Devices list. Motor carriers and drivers who are using these revoked devices must take the following actions:

1. Discontinue using the revoked device(s) and revert to paper logs or logging software to record required hours of service data.
2. Replace the revoked device(s) with compliant ELD(s) from FMCSA’s Registered Devices list within 60 days.

For ELD ONE, the 60 days are up on April 1, 2023. For Nationwide ELD, the deadline is April 4, 2023 and for ONE PLUS ELD, the deadline is April 10, 2023.

So, is your ELD legit? Click “Registered ELDs” on the FMCSA website. If your ELD is not shown as registered, click “Revoked ELDs”, and see if you are within the 60 days to replace your ELDs.
