FMCSA Removes Another ELD from Registered List

On February 3, 2023, FMCSA removed the following device from the list of registered ELDs due to the company’s failure to meet the minimum requirements established in 49 CFR part 395, subpart B, appendix A.

• ELD Name: Nationwide ELD
• ELD Model number: NWTELDV1.1
• ELD Identifier: NWT001
• ELD Provider: Nationwide Technologies Inc.

This device now appears on FMCSA’s Revoked Devices list.

Motor carriers and drivers who use the device listed above must take the following actions:

• Discontinue using the revoked device(s) and revert to paper logs or logging software to record required hours of service data.
• Replace the revoked device(s) with compliant ELD(s) from the Registered Devices list before April 4, 2023.

Motor carriers and drivers who continue to use the revoked ELD ONE device listed above on or after April 4, 2023 will be in violation of 49 CFR 395.8(a)(1)—“No record of duty status” and drivers will be placed out-of-service in accordance with the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) OOS Criteria.

If the ELD provider corrects all identified deficiencies, FMCSA will place the device back on the Registered Devices list and inform the industry and the field. However, FMCSA strongly encourages motor carriers to take the actions listed above now to avoid compliance issues in the event that these deficiencies are not addressed in time.
