FMCSA Pulls 133 ELDs From Registry Over Fraud
The Department of Transportation said FMCSA removed 133 electronic logging devices from its Registered Devices List, calling it the largest ELD revocation in the agency's history. The action covers 121 agency-revoked devices and 12 voluntary self-revocations that the agency said failed to meet readiness standards.
FMCSA described examples of fraud without naming the companies involved. One device let carriers call a support line to wipe out driving time and fabricate rest periods while a driver was actively on the road. Another uploaded fake logs during a roadside inspection to hide a driver operating beyond legal hours. A third logged speeds up to 130 miles per hour to compress recorded driving time.
Secretary Sean P. Duffy said the devices let companies cook the books and undercut driver wages. FMCSA Administrator Derek D. Barrs said the agency is closing loopholes that let devices evade oversight or bypass vetting. Motor carriers have up to 60 days to replace a revoked device. If a provider fixes the deficiencies, FMCSA said it will restore the device to the registered list.
