Supply: FMCSA
The Federal Motor Service Security Administration has eliminated Falcon ELD and KSK ELD from its checklist of registered self-certifed digital logging units. FMCSA has positioned these ELDs on the revoked units checklist as a result of suppliers’ failure to fulfill the minimal necessities established in 49 CFR half 395, subpart B, appendix A, efficient Sept. 14, 2023.
FMCSA will ship an trade e-mail to tell motor carriers that each one who use these revoked ELDs should take the next steps:
- Discontinue utilizing the revoked ELDs and revert to paper logs or logging software program to report required hours of service information.
- Substitute the revoked ELDs with compliant ELDs from the registered units checklist earlier than Nov. 13, 2023.
Motor carriers have as much as 60 days to interchange the revoked ELDs with compliant ELDs.
If the ELD suppliers appropriate all recognized deficiencies, FMCSA will place the ELDs again on the checklist of registered units and inform the trade and enforcement officers within the subject.
Between now and Nov. 13, security officers are inspired to not cite drivers utilizing the revoked ELDs for 395.8(a)(1) – “No report of responsibility standing” or 395.22(a) – “Failing to make use of a registered ELD.” Throughout this time, security officers ought to request the driving force’s paper logs, logging software program, or use the ELD show as a back-up technique to evaluate the hours of service information.
Starting Nov. 13, motor carriers who proceed to make use of the revoked units listed above can be thought of to be working with out an ELD. Security officers who encounter a driver utilizing a revoked gadget on or after Nov. 13 ought to cite 395.8(a)(1), and place the driving force out-of-service.
FMCSA stated it strongly encourages motor carriers to take the actions listed above now to keep away from compliance points within the occasion that the deficiencies are usually not addressed in time.
