FMCSA Revokes 133 ELDs (November 2026): Full List and Deadline

Quick Answer

On November 12, 2026, the U.S. Department of Transportation announced that FMCSA removed 133 electronic logging devices from its Registered Devices List: 121 revoked by the agency and 12 withdrawn by their own providers. DOT calls it the largest ELD revocation in FMCSA history. If your device is on the list, replace it now. DOT tells inspectors to place drivers still using one out of service on or after November 24, 2026.

Key Takeaways

• FMCSA revoked 121 devices and accepted 12 voluntary self-revocations on November 12, 2026, for 133 in total.
• The FMCSA revoked list shows 121 entries with status "Revoked" dated 11-12-2026, from 83 providers. The full list is below.
• DOT's release says carriers have "up to 60 days" to replace a revoked device, but it also tells inspectors to cite and place drivers out of service starting November 24, 2026. Plan for November 24.
• After the deadline, a driver on a revoked device counts as having no ELD: a 49 CFR 395.8(a)(1) "no record of duty status" violation and an out-of-service order.
• A revoked device can return to the list if its provider fixes every deficiency, but FMCSA doesn't promise when.

What did FMCSA do on November 12, 2026?

FMCSA pulled 133 devices off the list of ELDs that carriers are allowed to use. Every ELD on that list is self-certified by its provider, so FMCSA's main enforcement tool is taking a device off the list when it finds problems.

DOT described three anonymized cases from the investigation:

• One provider let carriers call a support line to wipe out driving time and invent rest periods while the truck was moving.
• One provider uploaded fake logs during a roadside inspection to hide a driver who was over his hours.
• One provider's logs showed trucks moving at up to 130 mph, a way to compress recorded driving time.

FMCSA Administrator Derek D. Barrs said the agency is removing devices to close loopholes used to "evade oversight, avoid revocation, bypass vetting requirements, or undermine accurate hours-of-service records," and that every device on the registry must be "compliant, secure, and actively supported." DOT did not say which providers were behind the three cases, so don't assume any company on the list below is one of them. Many entries are older devices whose registrations were also cleaned up.

Is my ELD on the revoked list?

Find the device name, model number and 6-character ELD identifier in your ELD app (usually the settings or "about" screen) or in the user manual you must keep in the cab. Then compare all three against the table below and FMCSA's own lists. Names repeat across unrelated companies, so match the provider and the ELD ID, not just the brand name. Our guide on how to check if your ELD is FMCSA-registered walks through it step by step.

We checked the list on November 13, 2026. Lucid ELD (model RB139K, ELD ID L12NJ8) remains on FMCSA's Registered Devices List.

What is the deadline to replace a revoked ELD?

DOT's release gives two timelines. It says motor carriers have "up to 60 days" to switch to a compliant ELD, and in the same notice tells safety officials who find a driver using a revoked device "on or after November 24, 2026" to cite 395.8(a)(1) and place the driver out of service under the CVSA out-of-service criteria.

As of November 13, 2026, FMCSA had not posted a separate notice for this batch on its ELD News and Events page. Until it does, treat November 24 as your real deadline. We'll update this post if FMCSA clarifies.

In earlier 2026 revocations, FMCSA told carriers to stop using the revoked device and switch to paper logs or logging software while they replaced it. Keep paper logs ready in the meantime.

What should drivers and carriers do now?

1. Check every truck's device name, model and ELD ID against the list below today.
2. If you match, stop relying on that device and keep paper logs (graph-grid RODS) for each driver until the replacement is installed.
3. Export and save at least the last 6 months of records of duty status and supporting documents from the old system, which you must keep under 49 CFR 395.8(k).
4. Pick a replacement that is on the Registered Devices List today, and confirm its exact model and ELD ID there before you buy.
5. Install it, log in every driver, and run a test data transfer before the truck dispatches.
6. Brief drivers on the new app and keep the new user manual, malfunction instructions and blank paper logs in the cab.

Our step-by-step guide to switching ELD providers covers the export and cut-over in more detail. Carriers who ran one of the five devices revoked in August went through the same process; see our August 2026 revocation post.

If you need a replacement fast, Lucid ELD's hardware ships in 2 to 4 business days and plugs into the truck's diagnostic port in under 5 minutes. See listed prices on our pricing page.

Can a revoked ELD come back?

Yes. DOT says that if a provider corrects all identified deficiencies, FMCSA will put the device back on the registered list and tell the industry. Don't plan around it. Until FMCSA reinstates a device, using it after the deadline is the same as having no ELD.
