FMCSA Removes ROBINHOOD ELD from List of Registered Electronic Logging Devices

Today, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) removed ROBINHOOD ELD from the agency’s list of registered electronic logging devices, or ELDs. The device was placed on the Revoked Devices list due to the company’s failure to meet the minimum requirements established in Title 49 CFR Appendix A to Subpart B of Part 395. The removal is effective September 19, 2025, for the following device:

• ROBINHOOD ELD
  Model Number: R-HOOD
  ELD Identifier: RHD481

Motor carriers have up to 60 days to replace the revoked ELD with a compliant ELD.  FMCSA will send an industry-wide email to inform motor carriers that anyone using these revoked ELDs must take the following steps:

1. Discontinue using the revoked ELD and revert to paper logs or logging software to record required hours of service data.
2. Replace the revoked ELD with a compliant ELD from the Registered Devices list before November 18, 2025.

Prior to November 18, 2025, safety officials are encouraged not to cite drivers using this revoked ELD for 395.8(a)(1) – “No record of duty status” or 395.22(a) – “Failing to use a registered ELD.” Instead, safety officials should request the driver’s paper logs, logging software, or use the ELD display as a back-up method to review the hours-of-service data.

Beginning November 18, 2025, motor carriers who continue to use the revoked device listed above will be considered as operating without an ELD. Safety officials who encounter a driver using a revoked device on or after November 18, 2025 should cite 395.8(a)(1), and place the driver out-of-service (OOS) in accordance with the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance OOS Criteria.

If the ELD provider corrects all identified deficiencies for its device, FMCSA will place the ELD back on the list of registered devices and inform the industry of the update.

However, FMCSA strongly encourages motor carriers to take the actions listed above now to avoid compliance issues in the event that the deficiencies are not addressed by the ELD provider.
