FMCSA Reinstates Three ELDT Providers, Closes Appeal Dockets

So whatTraining providers: emergency removal from the Registry isn't necessarily final — fast corrective action can restore status and end the appeal before a ruling on the merits.

FMCSA's Chief Safety Officer, Steven Dowling, signed orders on November 9, 2026, closing three separate dockets in which training providers had petitioned for administrative review after being emergency-removed from the ELDT Training Provider Registry under 49 CFR 380.723(d)-(e).

In each case — Prime Time Trucking USA Inc. (Docket FMCSA-2026-3700), CDL Commercial Trucks Training LLC (FMCSA-2026-3705), and V2 Group (FMCSA-2026-3697) — the Office of Safety Programs told the agency it had already reinstated the provider to the Registry after the provider took corrective action addressing the material deficiencies cited in its Notice of Emergency Removal. The Office Director asked that each petition be dismissed as moot since reinstatement granted the relief the providers sought.

Dowling agreed in all three orders, finding the petitions moot and closing the dockets. The orders do not evaluate whether the original removals were justified; they simply end the proceedings because the providers got what they asked for — their names back on the Registry.

What's next

  • All three dockets are closed; no further administrative action is scheduled.
  • Watch regulations.gov for similar emergency-removal dockets involving other ELDT providers.
