September 8 Deadline Nears for 10 Revoked ELDs

September 3, 2026 10 min read

FMCSA says carriers using ten ELD models revoked on July 9 must replace them with registered devices before September 8, when continued use may lead to a citation and out-of-service order.

The compliance date is September 8, 2026

FMCSA removed ten electronic logging devices from its Registered Devices list on July 9, 2026 because the agency said their providers failed to meet the minimum requirements in Appendix A to Subpart B of 49 CFR Part 395. The agency gave motor carriers up to 60 days to replace the affected equipment. That transition period ends before September 8, making the deadline an immediate operational issue for carriers still assigned to one of the listed devices.

The ten revoked devices

FMCSA identified Ontime Logs iosix (OTL101, identifier 24b11f); LAST MINUTE ELD (360-LM, LMN932); Porter ELD (Porter 1, POR247); Zee HOS Compliance (TTELD101, F594EF); EV ELD IOSIX, formerly EVO ELD IOSIX (EV 2, formerly EVO 2, G711H3); Light and Travel ELD (LNTRA, LNT780); PREMIERRIDE LOGS (1RIDE, PRD391); 2BRO ELD (2BRO002, 2BRELD); 305 ELD (305002, 2BR305); and TT ELD 40 (PT40, TTAH49). Carriers should compare provider, device name, model and identifier—not the app icon alone.

What FMCSA instructed carriers to do

The July 9 bulletin directed carriers to discontinue use of the revoked ELDs, revert to paper logs or logging software to record required hours-of-service data during the transition, and install a compliant device from FMCSA's Registered Devices list before September 8. The temporary method does not erase the underlying HOS or record-retention duties. Carriers should confirm how records are created, signed, reconstructed, transferred and retained under the rules applicable to their operation.

Enforcement changes on September 8

FMCSA says that beginning September 8, a carrier continuing to use one of the revoked devices will be considered to be operating without an ELD. The bulletin instructs safety officials to cite 49 CFR 395.8(a)(1) and place the driver out of service under the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance criteria. Before that date, officials were encouraged not to issue the specified no-RODS or unregistered-ELD citations solely for use of these devices during the transition.

Do not assume the provider has been restored

FMCSA says it may return a device to the Registered Devices list if the provider corrects every identified deficiency, and the agency would then notify the industry. Until that happens, a provider statement, software update or reseller assurance is not the same as official restoration. Check the live FMCSA registration status immediately before relying on a device, save a dated record of the verification, and document the replacement decision.

Plan the migration before dispatch

Identify every tractor, driver and account using an affected device. Select a registered replacement, schedule hardware installation if needed, create user and vehicle profiles, train drivers and dispatchers, test login and synchronization, confirm the vehicle-motion and duty-status behavior, and verify that roadside-transfer methods work. Preserve records from the old system before access expires. A last-day switch can leave drivers without usable credentials, historical logs or support during an inspection.

Protect the previous eight days of records

Drivers need access to the records required for roadside review, including the current day and applicable preceding days. Before removing hardware or canceling an account, export or print the required logs and supporting information in a usable form. Confirm annotations, certifications, edits, unidentified-driving events and carrier records. The replacement device should start with a clear transition point so the same time is not omitted or duplicated across paper, software and electronic records.

Train drivers for roadside inspection

A driver should know the replacement device's malfunction and diagnostic indicators, data-transfer steps, display or printout method, instruction sheet and blank-log backup procedure. Keep the required supporting materials in the cab. Dispatch should have a contact who can resolve account, device and log-history problems without coaching the driver to make an inaccurate edit. A compliant product still creates risk if the driver cannot produce or explain the record during an inspection.

Primary-source note

This report is based on FMCSA's July 9, 2026 bulletin and the agency's official ELD registration resources, reviewed for the approaching September 8 deadline. FMCSA may update a device's status if deficiencies are corrected, so carriers should use the live Registered and Revoked Devices lists for the final compliance decision. The official lists, current regulations and any later FMCSA notice control over this summary.
