Cargo Theft on the Rise: A staggering 48% of brokers have flagged cargo theft as the industry's foremost challenge in 2024. Highway’s Michael Caney provides an in-depth look at the theft and fraud issues plaguing the industry, with projections that the situation could intensify further in 2025.

FMCSA Active ELD Revoke List and the Importance of Compliance

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and reliability of commercial motor vehicles on American roads.

However, not all ELDs meet the necessary compliance standards. When a device no longer complies with FMCSA regulations or fails to meet performance standards, it is placed on the **FMCSA ELD Revoked List**.
