The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has made a massive stride in their historic crackdown on ELD fraud by revoking 120 ELDs on Thursday.
The move follows Overdrive reporting that FMCSA was confronted with direct evidence of ELD fraud in Dekalb, Illinois, by fleet owner Zach Meiborg, who had a driver pull up to a police station and get his hours reset on the spot.
U.S. DOT released a video on Thursday showing the exact same driver in the same truck getting his hour reset again, this time outside DOT headquarters.
"Commercial drivers can only drive 11 hours without having to take a break. They keep those hours of service through an electronic logging device, but these devices are being manipulated by fraudsters overseas," FMCSA Administrator Derek Barrs said in the video.
