The Morning Mile — Friday, Nov. 13
FMCSA pulls 133 ELDs with two conflicting deadlines in its own release, drivers rank home time over pay in a new survey, analysts size the driver exit at about 70,000, and Nevoya and Meta add an electric corridor on Interstate 10 — here's Friday's briefing.

Good morning. Friday's Morning Mile leads with the largest ELD action FMCSA has ever taken: 133 devices pulled from the federal registry on Thursday after forensic investigations found support lines that wiped driving time, fake logs uploaded during a roadside inspection and records showing 130 miles per hour — and an announcement that gives carriers up to 60 days to replace a revoked device while telling inspectors to place drivers out of service over one on or after Nov. 24. Also today: a fall driver survey finds home time beating the mileage rate as what job-seeking drivers want most, analysts call the third quarter a supply-driven recovery built on about 70,000 drivers leaving the pool, and Nevoya and Meta add a second electric corridor on Interstate 10.
Top story: Check your ELD's exact name, model and identifier against FMCSA's revoked list today. If it was revoked on Nov. 12, plan against the Nov. 24 out-of-service date in the same release — not the 60-day sentence next to it — until FMCSA clarifies which one governs.
Drivers: In the Fall 2026 Truck Driver Survey, 51.2% of drivers are looking for a job and 55% are recruited weekly — and 69.1% of seekers rank improved home time first, ahead of predictable or higher pay at 65.1%.
Stay safe out there.
