FMCSA Removes Five ELD’s From Their List of Registered Devices
Late last week the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration removed five Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) from their list of registered devices.
The devices removed were: CI ELD LOGS, CN ELD, KSK ELD, TT ELD 30, TT ELD 1010.
For those who have these since revoked ELDs, they need to discontinue use of them and go back to paper logs or logging software to record their hours-of-service data and replace the revoked ELDs with compliant ELDs from the Registered Devices List before April 28th.
If motor carriers continue to use the revoked ELD on or after April 28th, they will be considered as operating without an ELD. Safety officials would be able to place the driver out-of-service if they encounter a driver using a removed ELD.
Truck Parking Remains a Hot Topic in the Industry
Truck parking challenges are not a new issue in the industry, but the topic continues to be discussed more, with even more attention being received by the federal government on ways to make parking for truckers easier and safer.
Per the Federal Highway Administration, a national Jason’s Law truck parking survey will be reissued later this year. The FHWA has stated that Jason’s Law requires the DOT to issue a truck parking survey and assessment every few years. Previous surveys were conducted in 2015 and 2019.
Jason’s Law was enacted in 2012 in honor of Jason Rivenburg who was a truck driver that was shot and killed in 2009 after he parked in an unsafe location, per FleetOwner.
The point of the survey is to gain insight and information to “guide future investment, as well as to identify any research, policy, education, training, or other program needs to continue to support the expansion of truck parking across the nation,” per a FHWA spokesperson.
