Terms of Use

Operator: AuthorityStuck is operated by CLEARDEAL LLC. Contact: help@doogex.com. Last updated: October 18, 2026.

What this site is

AuthorityStuck publishes educational information about FMCSA's Motus registration system: a free problem diagnostic, problem guides, a status tracker, and a paid digital publication, the Fix-It Playbook. We are an independent publisher. We are not FMCSA, the U.S. Department of Transportation, or any government body, and we are not affiliated with them.

What this site is not

We are not a filing service and we do not file, submit, expedite, or intervene in any government record on your behalf. Nothing on this site is legal advice. Registration decisions carry legal consequences; consult a qualified transportation attorney for advice about your specific situation.

The Playbook

The Fix-It Playbook is a digital publication sold for a one-time payment of $49 (USD), processed by Stripe. Access is delivered via the page you are redirected to after checkout. The Playbook is licensed for use within your own company; redistribution or resale of its contents is not permitted. Templates are provided for your own filings and correspondence.

Accuracy

Motus and FMCSA guidance change frequently. We date our content and update the status tracker as FMCSA moves, but we do not warrant that any page reflects guidance issued after its stated date. Always confirm deadlines and requirements against FMCSA's official channels before acting.

Your credentials

We never ask for, and you should never send us, your Login.gov password, USDOT PIN, or any other credential. Any communication claiming to be from AuthorityStuck that requests credentials is fraudulent.

Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, CLEARDEAL LLC is not liable for outcomes of any filing, registration action, or business decision made using this site's information. The diagnostic and guides describe reported fix paths; FMCSA decides every case on its own record.
