FMCSA revokes 133 electronic logging devices in fraud crackdown

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has removed 133 electronic logging devices from its registry, citing widespread compliance failures and evidence that some systems were being used to falsify truck drivers’ hours-of-service records. The enforcement action, announced Thursday by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, targeted devices that federal investigators said allowed trucking companies to manipulate driving records, conceal violations of federally mandated rest periods and evade safety regulations. Of the 133 devices removed , 121 were revoked by FMCSA, while another 12 were voluntarily withdrawn by their providers after failing to meet the administration’s readiness standards. The crackdown comes as federal regulators intensify scrutiny of trucking safety, driver qualifications and electronic logging systems amid concerns that fraudulent records allow carriers to operate outside federal safety requirements. As FreightWaves reported in May , FMCSA had removed 79 electronic logging devices from its registered list since January 2025, including 12 devices revoked in a single May enforcement action.
