I've been exchanging emails with FPInnovations today. Here is the second email, which answers my question: how can a 4-6 week process be in its 4th month with no ELDs certified? Here is the response from FPInnovations, who have been quite prompt and informative (yet, I don't understand how what they're saying can be true):

Hi XXXXXX,



As previously stated (in the attached email), the reason there is no certified ELD is that the ELDs that are being tested have not yet met the requirements for certification. The testing and certification process is rigorous, but compliant ELDs should be able to go through the testing process and obtain certification within the stated duration. Non-compliant ELDs will take longer to test because providers need to make corrections to the devices in order to meet the requirements and pass the test.



The information you have received regarding OBD-II, as well as what you specified as public knowledge is not accurate. As stated in the message on our website, we are testing ELDs and will certify any ELD model that meets the requirements. If devices do not meet the requirements, they will not get certified.



Thanks again for your inquiries. If you are receiving information from any ELD providers, you may ask them to contact us directly so we can provide accurate information and guide them through the certification process, as we do for all ELD providers we are working with.
