How to Use the Tag Feature for Multiple MCs

If you operate a trucking business with multiple MC numbers, or you’re a parent company managing several subsidiaries or "tag" companies, the Tag feature in Truckpedia TMS can be a powerful organizational tool. It allows you to group, filter, and manage your operations more efficiently—all within a single platform.

If you run more than one MC or more than one company, tags let you keep each company's loads, drivers, equipment and users separate inside one Truckpedia account.

Why use tags?

  • Keep operations separate for each MC or company
  • Track loads by company
  • Assign drivers and equipment to the right company or branch
  • See dashboard numbers for one company at a time
  • Make it clear which loads and drivers belong to which business

Step 1: Plan your tags

Decide what each tag stands for before you create them. For example:

  • MC numbers (MC123456, MC789012)
  • Company names or short names (ETC-KY, ETC-TN, Express Sub1)
  • Divisions (Dry Van Ops, Brokerage Division)

Keep names short, clear and consistent.

Step 2: Create your tags

  1. Click the gear icon at the bottom left to open Settings, then go to Company → Tags.
  2. Click Create A Tag.

  1. Choose whose billing info shows on invoices (this tag company or the parent company) and whether invoices sync to the parent company's QuickBooks.
  2. Fill in the business name, email, address and other details. Choose the Type if it applies.
  3. Click Submit.

You can create all your tags up front or add them as you go.

Step 3: Apply tags

Open the record, pick the tag in its Tag or Tags field and save:

  • Drivers: in the driver's Overview tab, under Personal Information.

  • Loads: in the Tag field at the top of Step 1 of the load.

  • On the Home dashboard, use the company selector (it says All companies by default) to see numbers for one tag company.

Step 5: Set number prefixes for each tag

Each tag company can have its own numbering, so you can tell at a glance which company a load or settlement belongs to.

  1. Click the gear icon at the bottom left and go to Company → Number Sequences.
  2. Pick a tab:
    • Load Number: the prefix for each company's load numbers (for example T for your main company, A for Safari Trucking, EXP for VIP Express).
    • Driver Pay Settlements: the prefix for each company's settlement numbers.
    • Mass Invoice, Load Assignments (trip numbers) and Digital Form Unique Number: the prefixes for those documents.
  3. Click the edit icon next to the company, enter the prefix and click Submit.
