Washington, D.C. — In a rapid succession of enforcement actions, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration revoked three Electronic Logging Device models—TMS ONE’s ELD ONE (OELD01), Nationwide ELD, and ONE PLUS ELD—between January 31 and February 8, 2026. The agency granted carriers 60 days to transition to a compliant system before the devices become illegal to use.
Electronic Logging Devices are mandated under 49 CFR Part 395 to record hours‑of‑service data accurately. FMCSA’s regulations require that an ELD without a printer display data that an authorized safety official can view without entering the vehicle, a standard that the revoked models failed to meet. The revocations underscore the agency’s commitment to enforcing technology standards that protect both drivers and the public.
On January 31, FMCSA removed TMS ONE’s ELD ONE, model OELD01, citing non‑compliance with the display‑visibility requirement. The following day, on February 3, Nationwide ELD was taken off the approved list for similar reasons. A week later, on February 8, the agency struck ONE PLUS ELD from its registry. Each removal came with a 60‑day grace period; after that, continued use would be considered operating without an ELD, exposing drivers to potential out‑of‑service status and fines.
What This Means for Drivers
CDL‑A holders and owner‑operators who rely on the revoked devices must immediately halt usage. They can either switch to a new ELD from the approved list or revert to paper logs, though the latter may trigger compliance audits. Fleet managers will need to inventory all units, assess replacement costs, and schedule training for crews. Failure to comply after the 60‑day window can result in drivers being pulled off the road, jeopardizing revenue streams and reputation.
Industry Reaction
The trucking community has expressed concern over the rapid pace of device removals. Many carriers point out the financial burden of purchasing new hardware and the logistical challenge of updating software across fleets. Despite these hurdles, industry groups emphasize that maintaining ELD compliance remains essential for safety and to avoid costly enforcement actions. Carriers are encouraged to consult FMCSA’s approved device list and plan transitions ahead of the deadlines.
Key Points
- Three ELD models—TMS ONE’s ELD ONE, Nationwide ELD, and ONE PLUS ELD—were revoked between January 31 and February 8, 2026.
- Each revocation cited failure to meet minimum FMCSA requirements, specifically the display‑visibility standard for non‑printer devices.
