WASHINGTON — The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMSCA) is removing a ROBINHOOD ELD from its list of registered devices.
According to an FMCSA media release, on Sept. 19, the ROBINHOOD ELD — Model number R-Hood, ELD Identifier RHD481 has been removed due to the providers’ failure to meet the minimum requirements.
Motor carriers and drivers using these devices have 60 days to replace them with compliant ELDs.
Motor carriers and drivers who use the ELD listed above must take the following actions:
- Discontinue using the revoked ELD and revert to paper logs or logging software to record required hours of service data.
- Replace the revoked ELD with a compliant ELD from the Registered Devices list before Nov. 18.

How about FMCSA end ELD requirements altogether! As the .Gov aproves these ELD’s, you spend money as required, then they give you two months to buy new??? I wonder if they have stock?
I believe drivers should be given more time to replace these RLD’s or how about the government pays us to replace them at no cost to drivers.

there are still so many eld devices out there that are non compliant , they have you put apps on your phone, and these definetly are not compliant with FMCSA so many foreign owned companies use these to push drivers to run , and not take there 10 hour break not even do a 34 hour reset,
