The ELD registry as data

Free, licensed and dated, because a number you cannot download is a number you cannot check.

938 registered devices and 385 removals, retrieved 2026-08-31, as CSV or JSON. This is the same data every figure on this site is computed from, published so you can reproduce any of them or disagree with us using the same rows.

CSV files are RFC 4180 with CRLF line endings and a header row. Any cell beginning with an equals sign, plus, minus or at sign is prefixed with an apostrophe so a spreadsheet treats it as text rather than a formula.

What you can do with it

Licence

CC BY 4.0. Use it commercially, republish it, build on it. Attribute FreightProbe and link back.

Cost

Free, with no sign-up, no key and no rate limit. If you need it programmatically, the JSON files are the same URLs.

What is not here

The source carries vendor email, phone and postal addresses. We deliberately exclude them. Use the FMCSA list itself to contact a vendor.

FreightProbe. "FMCSA Registered and Removed ELD Devices." Retrieved 2026-08-31. https://freightprobe.com/data

Quote the retrieval date with any figure. This dataset changes as FMCSA publishes registrations and removals, so a number without a date is not reproducible. We hold dated snapshots from 2026-08-31 onward.

How it is built, and its known limits

Both files are parsed from the FMCSA registered and removed lists. Columns are matched by name rather than position, because the two lists have different column counts and a positional index that is correct on one is silently wrong on the other.

Two limits worth knowing before you compute anything. FMCSA publishes some companies under more than one name string, so grouping by company is approximate unless you normalise; our own pages disagree by three on the single-product vendor count for exactly this reason, and we say so rather than picking a number. And the published lists contain a small number of exactly duplicated rows, 8 in the registered file and 18 in the removals file, which we pass through unchanged rather than silently deduplicating.

Findings computed from this data: brands that outlive their devices, companies that left the registry, and shared hardware behind separate brands.
