They are all translated as "escort/take someone somewhere". Are there any
differences? Can I use them interchangeably?

What's the difference among 送る, 乗せる and 連れていく
* 送る: To escort someone somewhere (and part from him/her after arriving there). Escorting itself is the main goal, and you usually have nothing do to at the destination place.

> 子どもを学校に送る  
>  友人を駅まで送った (because it was late, and I said goodbye to him and returned
> home)

  * 連れて行く: To take someone somewhere (in order to do something there with him/her).

> 子どもを動物園に連れて行く  
>  友人を駅に連れて行った (to show him around the station)

  * 乗せて行く: to drive someone somewhere (i.e., by car). 乗せる literally means _to mount/load_.

> 子どもを学校に乗せて行く
