Abstract
Media, method and system for scheduling trips, and particularly for scheduling trip to transport vehicles from a pick-up location to a drop-off location. To accomplish this, interfaces are provided for describing the desired starting and ending locations for vehicles and automatically allocating drivers to vehicles for each segment of a desired trip and assigning any necessary tasks to the drivers to complete for each waypoint of the trip. Additionally, any other requirements for transporting the vehicles, such as insurance and temporary license plates, can automatically be provided for.

- receiving, from the driver and via the smartphone, an acceptance of the request;
- responsive to receiving the acceptance, dispatching the driver for the move;
- responsive to dispatching the driver, causing display of a second page operable to display information associated with the move;
- and
- updating the second page, in real time and based at least in part on a driver GPS device associated with the driver, to reflect the driver traveling from the pick-up location to the drop-off location,
