Human Factors; Procedure
The #2 thrust reverser was deferred under MEL (Minimum Equipment List) 78-1-01; which does not allow tanker fuel. Tanker fuel was added and planned by Dispatch and was not identified by Captain. Weather was good at departure and destination. We had a light load and performance was not an issue. Read the MEL in detail. Better communication about tankering fuel with an MEL from Dispatch.
