Tendering freight before verifying a carrier’s ELD leaves a critical onboarding control unchecked.
Confirmed FMCSA information, published September 8, 2026 and reviewed October 3, 2026: FMCSA reported removing 10 ELDs from its registered list. Check the current registered-device information here: https://eld.fmcsa.dot.gov/Support/NewsAndEvents
Lanta Logistics planning recommendation: Before tendering, assign an onboarding owner to record the driver’s ELD name, model, and identifier; compare those details with current FMCSA information; document the review date; and escalate any mismatch for carrier review.
Carriers remain responsible for their compliance. This is an operational recommendation, not legal advice. Build a stronger onboarding process with Lanta Logistics: www.lantallc.com
