FMCSA has revoked 56 ELDs in 2026, more than in any year

Two years running, FMCSA initiated most ELD removals

FMCSA-initiated revocations were 16% of removals in 2023, 41% in 2024, 55% in 2025 and 55% in 2026. Before 2022 the list records no FMCSA revocations at all: every earlier removal is a vendor withdrawing a device.

That reverses what our own removal record says about the whole history, where vendor withdrawals still outnumber revocations. Across all 387 removals the vendors lead; inside 2026 the agency does.

FMCSA revoked in 9 separate batches this year. The largest was 14 devices on 4 March 2026 (Gorilla Fleet Safety, LLC, Club ELD, Egreen ELD, DENDRA INC). The most recent was 5 devices on 6 August 2026, which FMCSA announced on its ELD news page with a replacement deadline of 6 October 2026.

Why the record for total ELD removals is weaker than it looks

Total removals in 2026 stand at 102, one more than the 101 of 2023. A one-device margin is not a trend. 20 of this year's removals are Azuga, Inc. withdrawing its own Hours of Service devices on 18 May 2026, a vendor decision rather than enforcement, and 2023's total also leans on one vendor event: GPS Trackit withdrew 15 devices on 2 February 2023.

Take the largest vendor batch out of each year and the totals stop being a record. Take it out and the FMCSA count does not move at all, because vendor withdrawals are not in it. That is why this page leads on 56, not 102. Azuga, Inc. also still lists devices on the registered list today; its withdrawal is a product change, and our fleet comparison prints its current prices.

The 38 companies FMCSA revoked in 2026

Each row is a company string exactly as FMCSA filed it. Names link to that company's rows on our copy of the revoked list. "Still listed" means the same company, normalised for punctuation and suffixes, has at least one other device on the registered list today.

29 of the 38 have nothing left on the registered list. For their customers there is no newer device from the same vendor to move to, which is the situation our page on companies with no registered device left counts across the whole record.

What the FMCSA revoked list does not show

• No reason per device. FMCSA's notices give one general ground, failure to meet the minimum requirements of Appendix A to Subpart B of Part 395. The list has no reason column.
• Dates are FMCSA's. We print the date in the list's Date column, normalised to ISO. 4 rows carry no parseable date and are left out of every yearly count.
• Exact duplicates pass through. FMCSA's list repeats some rows exactly; we count what FMCSA publishes rather than deduplicating its record for it.
• No judgement of any company. A revocation is a fact about a filing. Several companies here may correct their deficiencies and return to the list.

If a device you run is on the list: the 60-day clock

FMCSA's notices say it plainly: "Motor carriers have up to 60 days to replace the revoked ELDs with a compliant ELD." After the deadline, drivers using the device are cited under 49 CFR 395.8(a)(1) for no record of duty status and placed out of service. Start with the device itself on the registered-list check, then follow the replacement path, which draws every 2026 deadline on one timeline.

Six large registered vendors and what the register records under each name, so a replacement shortlist starts from the list rather than from an advert:

ELD CHECK, FMCSA REGISTERED LIST
1. Read three things from the device or its app:
   ELD Identifier ______  Model number ______  Device name ______
2. Search them at https://freightprobe.com/eld (copy of https://eld.fmcsa.dot.gov/List)
   Match all three, and the company you pay.
3. Not there? Search https://freightprobe.com/eld-revoked and note the removal date: ______
4. Removed by FMCSA? 60 days from the notice. Deadline: ______
   Paper logs or logging software meanwhile.
5. Replace with a device from the registered list before the deadline.

Counted on 19 October 2026 from FMCSA's revoked ELD list (387 removals; 4 without a parseable date are excluded). "FMCSA revoked" and "self revoked" are FMCSA's own status labels. Counts are computed at build from eld-changes.json, so this page and the list cannot disagree. Company grouping in the table uses FMCSA's own company string; "still listed" uses a normalised name. We did not buy, install or run any device for this page. Compiled and verified by Vincent Wesley Couey.
