Running Multiple MC Authorities

If you run more than one operating authority, add each one as an MC profile and switch between them from the top bar. Lists and new records follow the MC you have selected, and paperwork carries that MC’s name, numbers and logo.

Where in CloudTMS: /settings/mc-profiles, /subscription

Add an MC Profile

Your first MC profile is created for you from your company name, MC and DOT numbers the first time you open MC Numbers.

  1. Go to Settings and open MC Numbers. (page: /settings/mc-profiles)
  2. Click Add MC Profile. (page: /settings/mc-profiles)
  3. Enter the Legal Name (required), plus Operating As (DBA), MC #, USDOT, address, phone and email. Tick Set as Default MC if this should be the default. (page: /settings/mc-profiles)
  4. Click Save. To add a logo, open the MC again with Edit and click Upload under MC Logo. (page: /settings/mc-profiles)

Switch Between MCs

Once you have more than one MC, a switcher with the active MC’s name appears at the top right of every page. Pick another MC and confirm with Switch MC.

While you’re working under an MC that isn’t your default, a banner reads Operating under: with that MC’s name. Click Switch back to primary to return.

What’s Per-MC and What’s Shared

Per-MC: loads, drivers, trucks, trailers, customers, fleet owners, invoices, settlements, maintenance records, and fuel and toll transactions each belong to one MC. Lists show only the active MC’s records, and a record from another MC can’t be opened from here. New records go to the active MC, and documents follow the record they’re attached to.

A load can only use a customer, driver, truck and trailer from its own MC.

Shared across the company: logins and users, the subscription, and admin users.

Branding and Billing

Invoices, rate confirmations, settlement PDFs and carrier packets use the name, address, MC and DOT numbers and logo of the load’s or settlement’s MC. Any field you leave blank on the MC uses your company profile instead.

The Subscription page shows each additional MC at 50% of your plan’s monthly price, with your first MC included.
