Five devices were recently removed from the FMCSA's list of registered electronic logging devices (ELDs). Due to a failure to meet the minimum requirements of 49 CFR 395, Subpart B, Appendix A, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has moved these devices to its "revoked devices" list as of October 17, 2025. Sky Transport Solutions helps carriers understand these regulatory changes and ensure compliance with ELD requirements.
Revoked ELD Devices
The following five devices have been removed from the FMCSA's registered ELD list:
- PREMIUM ELD
- TRUE LOGBOOK
- Xplore ELD
- KAMI ELD
- EVO ELD 1
Many ELD providers remove their devices from the list voluntarily, but the FMCSA has the authority to remove any ELD that does not comply with regulations.
Next Steps for Commercial Carriers
Commercial carriers and drivers who use the above-listed devices must take immediate action to ensure compliance. Sky Transport Solutions recommends the following steps:
Immediate Actions Required
- Stop using the revoked devices immediately - Carriers and drivers must stop using the revoked ELD devices right away
- Switch to paper logs or logging software - Use paper logs or logging software to record hours of service during the transition period
- Replace devices before December 16, 2025 - Before December 16, 2025, carriers must replace the revoked devices with ELDs listed on the FMCSA's ELD registry and begin using those compliant devices
ELD providers who correct device deficiencies can be placed back on the list of registered devices, and FMCSA informs the industry when revoked devices are compliant again.
ELD Compliance Standards
During the 60-day replacement period, the FMCSA has instructed safety officials to review affected drivers' hours-of-service data using logging software, paper logs, or the ELD display.
Consequences of Non-Compliance
After December 16, 2025, any motor carrier that continues to use the revoked devices will be considered operating without an ELD. Drivers will be placed out of service and cited for "No record of duty status" (395.8(a)(1)).

An Upward Trend
Up to this point, 64 ELD devices have been removed from the registered list between 2019–2025, with the number of removals growing each year. During 2019–2021 there were no ELD removals, but starting in 2022 that number started climbing each year.

Key Takeaway from Sky Transport Solutions
This upward trend suggests the FMCSA is paying more attention to ELD compliance, meaning it's more important than ever to make sure your devices are compliant and functional. Sky Transport Solutions recommends that carriers regularly verify their ELD devices remain on the FMCSA's registered list and have a plan in place to quickly replace any revoked devices.
