assigning the job to a driver or vehicle,

finding a nearest vehicle to a job;

reassigning the job to a driver or vehicle;

recalling the job;

identifying the job as complete;

reopening the job; and

canceling the job.

5 . The computer system of claim 4 , wherein the one or more processors are further programmed at least to:

provide, for the graphic user interface, a display of at least one criterion for finding the nearest vehicle.

6 . The computer system of claim 5 , wherein the at least one criterion for finding the nearest vehicle includes at least one of:

a time criterion and a group criterion.

7 . The computer system of claim 4 , wherein the one or more processors are further programmed to provide, for the graphic user interface, a display at least one of, for at least one nearest vehicle to a job:

a number of the nearest vehicles;

an identification of a driver associated each vehicle;

a distance of the vehicle from the job;

a travel time for the job; and

contact information for the vehicle or driver.

8 . The computer system of claim 7 , wherein the contact information includes at least one of:

an indicator showing the driver has a computer application configured to interface with the graphic user interface.

provide, for the graphic user interface, an assignment action input for assigning the job to the driver via the application.

10 . The computer system of claim 4 , wherein the one or more processors are further programmed at least to:

provide, for the graphic user interface, a pop-up display for selecting the nearest driver.

11 . The computer system of claim 4 , wherein the one or more processors are further programmed to provide, for the graphic user interface, a display at least one of:

a job identification;

an address for the job; and

job a status dropdown.

12 . The computer system of claim 4 , wherein the one or more processors are further programmed at least to:

provide, for the graphic user interface, the indication of at least one nearest vehicle in conjunction with a map showing the position of the at least one nearest vehicle.

13 . The computer system of claim 4 , wherein the one or more processors are further programmed at least to provide, for the graphic user interface a display of a schedule for at least one job and at least one driver.

14 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further programmed at least to provide interface tool for at least one of:

managing a job type;

creating a new job;

managing customers for a job;

uploading a job; and

editing a job.

15 . A method comprising, in at least one computer and a computer readable storage medium or media including computer code:

receiving GPS event data transmitted from a plurality of GPS devices, each GPS device associated with a vehicle;

associating at least one vehicle with the job based on the GPS event data; and

providing, for a graphic user interface, an indication of the at least one vehicle to dispatch the job.

16 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

providing, for the graphic user interface, the indication of the at least one vehicle in conjunction with a map showing the position of the vehicle.

17 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

providing, for the graphic user interface, at least one input interface for selecting an action for dispatching the job.

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the action includes at least one of:

assigning the job to a driver or vehicle,

finding a nearest vehicle to a job;

reassigning the job to a driver or vehicle;

recalling the job;

identifying the job as complete;

reopening the job; and

canceling the job.

19 . The method of claim 18 , further comprising:

providing, for the graphic user interface, a display of at least one criterion for finding the nearest vehicle.

20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein the at least one criterion for finding the nearest vehicle includes at least one of:

a time criterion and a group criterion.

21 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the method further comprises providing, for the graphic user interface, a display of at least one of for at least one nearest vehicle to a job:

a number of the nearest vehicles;

an identification of a driver associated each vehicle;

a distance of the vehicle from the job;

a travel time for the job; and

contact information for the vehicle or driver.

22 . The method of claim 21 , wherein the contact information includes at least one of:

an indicator showing the driver has a computer application configured to interface with the graphic user interface.

23 . The method of claim 22 wherein the method further comprises:

providing for the graphic user interface, an assignment action input for assigning the job to the driver via the application.

24 . The method of claim 18 wherein the method further comprises:

providing, for the graphic user interface, a pop-up display for selecting the nearest driver.

25 . The method of claim 18 wherein the method further comprises providing, for the graphic user interface, a display of at least one of:

a job identification;

an address for the job; and

a job status dropdown.
