Key Takeaways:

  • The FMCSA has removed five specific Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) – All-Ways Track, TMS One, Simple Truck, E Trucking Soft, and GPS Trucker – from its approved list due to non-compliance with federal technical standards.
  • Motor carriers using these revoked ELDs must immediately discontinue their use and switch to paper logs or compliant logging software.
  • Fleets have 60 days, until December 16, 2025, to install approved ELDs; after this deadline, drivers using the revoked systems will be considered in violation.

Editor’s Note: TMS ONE was not among the electronic logging devices removed in the most recent action by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has removed five electronic logging devices (ELDs) from its list of registered products, citing non-compliance with federal technical standards under the hours-of-service (HOS) rule.

The revoked ELDs are:

  • Premium ELD
  • Evo ELD 1
  • True Logbook
  • Xplore ELD
  • Kami ELD

Motor carriers using these devices must immediately discontinue their use and revert to paper logs or compliant logging software to record required HOS data. 

FMCSA has given fleets 60 days—until Dec. 16, 2025—to install approved ELDs, after which drivers using the revoked systems will be considered in violation and placed out of service in accordance with Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance criteria.

FMCSA said the devices were removed from the registered list because they failed to meet one or more of the technical specifications outlined in the ELD rule. The agency noted that if any provider corrects its deficiencies, its device may be reinstated to the list.

So far in 2025, FMCSA has revoked a total of 24 ELDs, the highest annual number since full enforcement began in 2018. 

As of Oct. 17, FMCSA lists 1,133 registered ELD devices currently approved for use by U.S. motor carriers.
