The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has dropped five more products from the list of registered electronic logging devices (ELD).
CI ELD LOGS, CN ELD, KSK ELD, TT ELD 30, and TT ELD 1010 devices have been removed from the list of registered ELDs. FMCSA has placed these ELDs on the revoked services list because they failed to meet the minimum requirements established in 49 CFR part 395, subpart B, appendix A, effective Feb. 28.
The regulation “requires that an ELD without a printer be designed so that the display may be reasonably viewed by an authorized safety official without entering the commercial motor vehicle.”
FMCSA will send an industrywide email informing motor carriers that all who use these revoked ELDs must discontinue their use and revert to paper logs or logging software to record required hours-of-service data, as well as replace the revoked ELDs with compliant ELDs from the registered devices list before April 28.
During this time, safety officials should request the driver’s paper logs, logging software, or use the ELD display as a backup method to review the hours-of-service data.
Drivers or carriers who miss the April 28 deadline will face a “no record of duty status” violation and be placed out of service, according to Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance OOS Criteria.
