Trucking news and briefs for Tuesday, July 25, 2023:
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) on Tuesday removed All Truckers ELD, PrimELD and Secure ELD devices from its list of registered Electronic Logging Devices (ELD) and placed these ELDs on the Revoked Devices list due effective July 25 to the companies’ failure to meet the minimum requirements established in 49 CFR part 395, subpart B, appendix A.
Motor carriers using an affected device must discontinue use and revert to paper logs or logging software to record required hours of service data, and replace the revoked ELD with a compliant one before Sept. 23. Beginning Sept. 23, 2023, motor carriers who continue to use the revoked devices listed above would be considered to be operating without an ELD. Safety officials who encounter a driver using a revoked device on or after September 23, 2023 can place the driver out of service.

Reached by Overdrive sister site CCJ on Tuesday, PrimELD said via email it was "trying to restore compliance with FMCSA."
No contact information for All Truckers ELD was available and its website had been taken down. Secure ELD did not reply.
The batch dropped from FMCA's registry this week brings the total number of revoked ELDs this year to seven.
