About RAND ELD

RAND ELD is an electronic logging device (ELD) made by Rand McNally and listed on the FMCSA registered ELD list. Only registered devices may be used to record a driver's Hours of Service under 49 CFR Part 395. On the registered list it is identified by the ELD identifier RMVL21.

Registered Today Is Not Registered Forever

FMCSA can revoke a device at any time. If your provider stops supporting it, fails an audit, or withdraws it, the device moves to the FMCSA revoked list and running it becomes the same violation as having no ELD. Re-check before you rely on RAND ELD, and keep its software up to date.

What the Registration Covers

Registration means the manufacturer self-certified that RAND ELD meets the ELD technical specification — automatic driving-time capture, tamper resistance, a standard data file, and a supported roadside transfer method (Local (USB, Bluetooth), Telematic (Web Service, Email) for this device). It does not mean FMCSA independently tested the device, which is exactly why the agency also maintains a revoked list and why you should verify before you buy.
