[11:48] transportation and this is the new i

[11:50] mean i don't know which news is better

[11:52] nobody fee the car the party i mean so

[11:55] many things happening here

[11:57] at agape transportation that's why i

[12:00] mean somebody asked you

[12:02] you invited somebody to drive for agape

[12:04] and they might what is it tell me

[12:07] something that attracted me to to agape

[12:10] whereas the treatment you can tell the

[12:11] treatment to the driver to which the

[12:13] drivers our our family our our kind that

[12:16] we don't want any driver to to to live

[12:19] agape not at all i mean we do all the

[12:22] possibility that how you can join up and

[12:24] stay in agape and the the the the

[12:27] earning the price 15 minimum

[12:30] no deduction on the on your income

[12:34] a a fifteen dollar job is a fifteen

[12:36] dollar for your pocket a 70 job is 70

[12:40] for your pocket and also no bay fee is

[12:43] accumulated in these two months at least

[12:45] and the third and most important part is

[12:48] the safety the safetyness you experiment

[12:51] with our customer i mean

[12:54] you're working on the street i mean i've

[12:56] been i was driving for

[12:58] over 25-30 years driving in new york

[13:00] city i dropped a liberty cab yellow cab

[13:04] black car for for g or 12 years and i

[13:07] know what did you expose on the street

[13:10] now

[13:11] with the kind of transportation with

[13:13] that we specialize on non-emergency

[13:15] transportation so that what that what

[13:17] what that means is that we take uh

[13:20] patients

[13:21] our our members our insurance members we

[13:24] take them to their medical appointment

[13:27] it could be a flu shot could be you know

[13:29] anything so we can take those so those

[13:32] customers are pre-screened

[13:35] by by the insurance first and then for

[13:37] us we know we have all the detail for

[13:40] every customer that we dispatch on our

[13:42] system

[13:43] so it's safe because of that

[13:46] you won't have any problem with our

[13:48] customer like like you know otherwise in

[13:51] ins and and then and when you when you

[13:53] do cash when you do credit card

[13:56] you you don't know what to expect over

[13:58] there so i i guess that's one of the

[14:00] reason the main reason why we have so

[14:02] many ladies female drivers in our fleet

[14:06] because they they they feel

[14:08] safe in driving with agape so that's the

[14:12] thing that the availability of jobs as

[14:15] many as you could finish a day without

[14:17] we have availability

[14:19] and the the pricing on the on on the

[14:22] jobs

[14:23] and the safetyness do you experiment in

[14:26] in agape i mean three main topics why

[14:29] you should be here

[14:30] we have drivers that have

[14:32] they have six months

[14:34] three years

[14:35] five years 10 years driving with agape

[14:39] and they we have many many drivers that

[14:41] they don't know any other company we

[14:43] have drivers that they

[14:45] drop for three different companies and

[14:47] they realize that they don't need to

[14:49] have three tablets on their car to make

[14:52] money that day you only need

[14:54] agape tablets agape agape system for you

[14:58] to make money the last year we have a

[15:01] couple of drivers that overpass 100 000

[15:05] in in last year it was a very bad year

[15:08] at least two drivers made over 100

[15:11] thousand we can prove that

[15:12] i mean of course we're not gonna show

[15:14] you which driver but that's the kind of

[15:17] money the driver are making here in

[15:19] agape i mean i

[15:21] minimum 15 average per trip 26

[15:26] i i don't i don't i don't know anybody

[15:28] that can assure you the average per trip

[15:31] 26 average

[15:34] and availability for all the job you can

[15:36] do all the time you can work 10 hours 12

[15:39] hours you name it we have enough jobs

[15:42] for you so

[15:44] those three things don't attract you but

[15:47] try try agape thank you for sharing this
