As of my last update in September 2021, I cannot provide real-time information, including recent changes to regulations or lists maintained by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) or any other agency. However, I can provide some context about what it could mean when the FMCSA removes devices from its list of registered Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs).
ELDs are used in the transportation industry, particularly among long-haul truckers, to automatically record driving time for easier and more accurate hours-of-service (HOS) record-keeping. These devices must be registered and approved by the FMCSA to be considered compliant with the agency's regulations.
If the FMCSA removes certain devices from its list of registered ELDs, several implications could arise:
1. Compliance Issues: Carriers using these devices may no longer be in compliance with FMCSA rules, potentially facing fines or penalties.
2. Operational Disruption: Carriers may need to pause operations to install and train staff on new, compliant devices.
3. Costs: There could be financial costs involved in purchasing new ELDs and disposing of non-compliant ones.
4. Vendor Impact: The companies that manufacture the delisted ELDs may face reputational damage, potential loss of business, and may need to modify their devices to meet FMCSA's standards again.
If you're involved in the trucking or transportation industry, it would be a good idea to regularly check the FMCSA's list of approved ELDs and keep up to date with any changes or announcements from the agency.
For the most accurate and current information, please consult the FMCSA's official website or other trusted resources.

Large trucks and buses need the length of up to two football fields to safely stop. Driving too fast for weather or road conditions or failing to slow down for curves or ramps create risks for rollovers, as well as crashes. Be aware of long stopping distances and make careful wide turns.

Check mirrors every 8-10 seconds to be aware of vehicles entering your blind spots. Additionally, scan ahead on the road about 15 seconds (equating to a quarter mile on interstates, or one to two blocks in cities) for traffic issues, work zones, and other dangers.
