Trucking news and briefs for Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2023:
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration on Jan. 31 removed the ELD ONE electronic logging device from the list of registered devices for failing to meet minimum ELD requirements.
According to the company, more than 10,000 users are affected by the revocation.
Radu Murzac, CEO of ELD ONE, said the company has been meeting with FMCSA representatives over the last few months to address concerns with the devices. Ultimately, “we fell short,” Murzac said. He noted that the company’s development team, located in Ukraine, “have worked tirelessly, through power and internet outages, to complete as many of the FMCSA requests as possible.”
Because of the team’s work, Murzac expects a fix for the “final issue” identified by FMCSA to be solved within the next two weeks.
As reported Tuesday, drivers using the device are required to stop using the device and revert to paper logs or logging software to record hours of service. If ELD ONE addresses the issues that led to its revocation, FMCSA will place the device back on the registry and “inform the industry and the field.”
