Parade’s integration with MyCarrierPortal (MCP) has been completely reworked to give brokers deeper, clearer visibility into each carrier’s compliance and onboarding status — all directly inside Parade.
With this update, you can instantly see whether a carrier is blocked, has completed their packet, or is fully qualified, without needing to log into MCP or manually check onboarding systems. This added context helps your team make faster, more confident booking decisions while staying compliant with your carrier policies.
What’s New
The new MCP experience introduces several major improvements designed to bring consistency, transparency, and efficiency to carrier vetting across your team.
1. Enhanced Carrier Context in Profiles
Every Carrier Profile in Parade now displays key MCP insights in one place:
Risk Assessment – The carrier’s MCP risk rating (Acceptable, Moderate, or Unacceptable).
Completed Packet – Indicates whether the carrier has finished their MCP setup.
Blocked Status – Shows if the carrier is blocked in MCP (equivalent to a “no dispatch” state).
Last MCP Update – Displays when the data was last refreshed from MCP.
These new fields appear at the top of the Carrier Profile, giving you a unified, side-by-side view of all compliance sources.
2. Unified Qualification & Permissions Logic
Parade now interprets MCP data the same way it handles Highway and RMIS, ensuring consistent qualification logic across every integration.
Carriers marked “Blocked” in MCP are automatically restricted from booking or receiving load transfers.
Carriers that have completed their MCP packet but are still awaiting review can be optionally permitted to quote or book, depending on your account settings.
The qualification status indicator (the colored circle at the top of a Carrier Profile) now reflects a combined view of risk rating, packet status, and block status — not just one field.
This ensures brokers always see the most accurate and complete qualification state based on all available MCP data.
3. Simplified Display and Language
We’ve replaced complex color indicators and single-flag labels with clear, human-readable terms like:
MCP Permitted – Carrier meets all MCP requirements.
MCP Disqualified – Carrier is disqualified in MCP.
No Dispatch - If a carrier is Blocked by MCP.
These updates make it easy for teams to understand a carrier’s status at a glance — no toggling between systems or interpreting technical flags.
During onboarding, the Parade team will review your organization’s compliance preferences and configure the MCP integration accordingly to match how your team views qualification and risk.
4. Real-Time Updates
Parade refreshes MCP data automatically whenever the integration is invoked, ensuring the Carrier Profile always reflects the latest MCP information.
For example:
When a carrier completes their packet in MCP, that change appears in Parade
When a carrier is blocked in MCP, Parade automatically marks them as “No Dispatch” to prevent accidental assignment or booking.
5. Customizable Qualification Rules
We’ve moved away from a simple pass/fail model and introduced a fully customizable qualification system that gives you complete control over which carriers can quote, book, or dispatch through Parade.
With this new framework, you can configure your MCP integration to recognize any combination of risk rating and packet completion status — letting you decide exactly which carriers are permitted to work with your team.
For example, you can choose whether carriers marked as:
✅ Acceptable
⚠️ Moderate
🚫 Unacceptable – Review
❌ Unacceptable – Fail
are allowed to:
Submit quotes
Book Now
Be dispatched or No_Dispatch
Be considered Enabled for Parade
You can even go a step further and determine whether a carrier must have a completed packet in MCP before being eligible for these actions.
This means your compliance settings can reflect your organization’s unique policies — whether that means keeping things open and flexible or enforcing strict qualification gates.
During onboarding, Parade will work with you to tailor these combinations to match your compliance workflow.
🧩 Example Configuration
Many teams choose to:
Allow Moderate carriers to quote but not reserve.
Restrict Unacceptable – Review and Unacceptable – Fail carriers entirely.
Require HasCompletedCarrierPacket = True before a carrier can reserve or quote.
These settings can be adjusted anytime through Parade’s admin configuration panel, making it easy to fine-tune your compliance logic as your policies evolve.
How to Access
Open any Carrier Profile in Parade.
Look for the MCP section at the top of the page.
You’ll see the carrier’s MCP Risk Assessment, Packet Status, and Block Status, all updated.
Why It Matters
This rework makes Parade a true one-stop view of carrier compliance.
You no longer need to cross-check between systems to know if a carrier is ready to book — Parade shows you instantly.
By surfacing critical MCP data right where brokers work, teams can:
Eliminate manual vetting steps before assignment or booking.
Avoid compliance risks from accidentally booking blocked carriers.
Speed up onboarding and carrier selection with live MCP insights.
Availability
The new MCP integration is now available for all customers using MyCarrierPackets (MCP).
