Third ELD revoked by FMCSA in last two weeks

Trucking news and briefs for Thursday, Feb. 9, 2023:

The 1PL Logs ELD is now on FMCSA's Revoked Devices list after the agency found it fails to meet minimum requirements.For the third time in the last two weeks, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has revoked the certification of an electronic logging device from its list of certified devices.

The One Plus ELD, now known as 1 PL Logs, has been placed on the Revoked Devices list for failing to meet the minimum technical requirements for ELDs. Last week, two devices – the ELD ONE and the Nationwide ELD – were added to the Revoked Devices list for also failing to meet minimum requirements.

Drivers are required to stop using the revoked device and revert to paper logs or logging software to record required hours of service data.

Carriers and drivers who continue to use the device beyond April 10 will be in violation of the “No record of duty status” regulation, and drivers could be placed out of service.

If One Plus corrects what caused its device to fall out of compliance, FMCSA will place the device back on the list of registered devices. However, FMCSA strongly encourages motor carriers to stop using the device and replace it with a registered ELD to avoid compliance issues in the event that the device’s deficiencies are not addressed in time.
