First, you will need to enter your “Host”, “Port”, “Username”, and “Password” into your FTP client browser (ie. Filezilla) - Your Integration Implementation Specialist will provide you these details and credentials.

Within your FTP library, you will find 7 sub folders:

  • “Tracking_Outbound” (Returned tracking detail file, post dispatch & ongoing)

  • "Rating_Outbound" (Returned Rating Details)

  • "Rating_Inbound" (Rating details to be processed)

  • "Rating_Archive" (Rating processed files)

  • “Inbound” (Location for order files to be inserted into MyCarrier)

  • “Dispatch_Outbound” (Returned shipment detail file, post dispatch)

  • “Archive” (Processed files)

Next, you will move your CSV File into the “Inbound” folder. At this point the file will be automatically processed within 1 min.

  • One File per Order

  • Header Level of the CSV file is case sensitive and required

  • For the Order File, Location ID (SHIPPER-LOC-ID) will be found within the MyCarrier portal (Gear Icon – My Locations – Location ID)

  • Add Screenshot

  • For the Rating File, the Location ID (SHIPPER-LOC-ID) are listed below

Note: The location ID for the Order File is different from the Location ID value in the Rating File

Once the file is successfully processed, please allow a few minutes and log into your MyCarrier Prod Account:

In the TMS, you will find the shipment in the “Quote History” and “Quick Ship” Tabs.

* To automate this process to your specific internal system, you may need to work with your internal resource administrator.
