Trucking news and briefs for Friday, Dec. 8, 2023:
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration on Thursday announced that the CI ELD Logs device by CV Options LLC has been reinstated to its Registered ELDs list.
The device was one of 10 removed from the list last week. FMCSA last week said it placed those ELDs on the Revoked Devices list due to the providers’ failure to meet the minimum requirements established in 49 CFR part 395, subpart B, appendix A (functional specifications for ELDs).
Any operations using the CI ELD Logs device can now put it back into service after having to revert back to paper logs or logging software over the last week.
