How can we make it so drivers don't have to specify their trip?

We could have a rule based setup.

Rule: If driver = bob, if time matches MWF 8-10am, set trip_id bobs_big_trip

We can suggest trip_id's (but NO FK) based on the GTFS static.

We can also consider having trip_id in the rule, which, if set, requires the driver to be set to something like "auto" to receive the remote trip id. We could also hardcode this, because maybe it's too complicated to have multiple anyways.

If we don't match a rule, we ignore them. If they are not set to auto, we use whatever they are set to (overriding settings here), I think this is simplest.
