# Accept trip offers

Answer trips that your company offers to nearby drivers: the first driver who taps Accept gets the trip.

Updated October 4, 2026

**Who can do this:** Depending on your platform's settings: first-to-accept dispatching must be switched on.

Some companies do not assign every trip to a driver directly. Instead, a planner offers an open trip to the drivers who are near its start. The offer appears in OpenMove for each of those drivers, and the first driver to accept it gets the trip.

## How offers reach you

* Your planner uses **Offer to nearby drivers** on a trip in the Transportial web app.
* Transportial selects drivers whose vehicle was recently seen within a set distance of the trip. That is why sharing your location matters; see [Share your location](/en-us/help/openmove-location-sharing).
* The offer appears at the top of your **Trips** tab under **New trip offers**. It shows the trip name or number, the start date and time, and how long the offer still stands, for example **Expires in 12 min** or **Expires soon**.

## Accept an offer

1. Open the **Trips** tab.
2. Read the offer under **New trip offers**.
3. Tap **Accept**.
4. Wait for the message **Trip accepted — it has been added to your trips**. The trip now appears in your trips list.
5. Open the trip to check its stops before you leave.

## Decline an offer

1. Open the **Trips** tab.
2. Tap **Decline** on the offer. The offer disappears from your list.

## When an offer disappears

An offer can disappear without you doing anything. This happens when another driver accepted it first, when it expired, or when the planner withdrew it. If you tap **Accept** or **Decline** just as this happens, you see **This trip is no longer available**.

You need an internet connection to answer an offer. OpenMove never stores an answer to send later, because the trip may already be gone by then.

Offers appear while OpenMove is open. Open the **Trips** tab regularly when you are waiting for work.
