[0:02] name is Mario Sena president the

[0:04] president of agape transportation and as

[0:07] i promised before the

[0:09] podcast number two in english this is

[0:12] the promise and this is with delivering

[0:15] so the information we gave on the

[0:17] previous podcast that we could not

[0:20] we didn't have the time to record it in

[0:22] english so we have the english version i

[0:24] will do my best and i hope my best is

[0:27] good enough for you say hello to any uh

[0:31] everybody of you thank you for your

[0:33] services as usual this

[0:35] bro podcast is mainly for

[0:38] uh taxi agape taxi drivers

[0:42] uh so yeah of course anybody can you can

[0:45] share with anybody else but especially

[0:47] for the drivers of agape transportation

[0:50] agape transportation is a taxi company

[0:53] uh located mainly in in new york city

[0:56] and we serve the non-emergency

[0:59] transportation we we take people to uh

[1:03] to and from uh appointments medical

[1:05] appointment that's our specialty

[1:08] and uh it's been we're doing we've been

[1:11] doing that for the last 10 years so this

[1:14] is mario from agave transportation for

[1:16] the grace

[1:18] of god and the president of that

[1:21] beautiful company and we we have some

[1:23] information to give you here in in this

[1:27] beautiful and difficult language called

[1:29] english

[1:30] uh

[1:31] first of all the routing routing the

[1:34] routing you must be remember we assign

[1:37] the jobs in the morning for we have at

[1:39] least about uh i'd say i don't remember

[1:41] the last number about 75 to 80 drivers

[1:44] that take

[1:45] the routing that the preset around in

[1:48] the morning for for qualify for that

[1:50] you must have at least one month one

[1:53] month's working with with agape so the

[1:56] routing is given the the day before

[1:59] and you have to make sure that you check

[2:01] on on on your phone uh

[2:04] yo and then you accept

[2:06] accept the routing once you accept the

[2:09] routing you are responsible for that

[2:11] routing starting sometime for 3 30 in

[2:14] the morning for 4 o'clock so we have

[2:16] jobs and

[2:17] agape transportation from 3 30 in the

[2:20] morning up to maybe 11 11 i mean 11 00

[2:24] p.m so it's almost uh 24 even though we

[2:27] open 24 7

[2:29] for any uh question that members might

[2:32] have one o'clock two o'clock in the

[2:33] morning we do have somebody to answer

[2:36] live to our customer so the routing is

[2:39] given the day before and you should

[2:41] accept it before the 6 p.m i guess in

[2:45] the afternoon

[2:46] so once you get the as i said once you

[2:49] accept the routing you are responsible

[2:51] for that routing

[2:52] uh if you reject a routing

[2:55] uh reject because

[2:57] let me tell you first that we're using

[2:58] an automatic system

[3:00] from the thanks to j limo limus

[3:03] limousines i mean j limo is the the one

[3:06] the the software we used to uh to uh

[3:10] to dispatch and they have given a come

[3:13] up with the idea of uh having a model

[3:16] that

[3:17] do the routing automatically so it's not

[3:20] what human involved that has to be

[3:22] and uh but the routing is is done

[3:25] automatically so sometimes you're gonna

[3:27] have a very good uh route next time you

[3:30] it might not be so great but the the

[3:33] system is uh is programmed

[3:36] that uh from four o'clock in the morning

[3:38] to uh nine in the morning from four to

[3:41] nine you should be able that is a

[3:44] minimum of 135 dollars so you should be

[3:48] able to make 135 from four to

[3:52] two nine minimum so after that you can

[3:55] complete your 300 350 400

[3:58] during the day so that's the one once

[4:00] you have that the

[4:02] the routing you cannot reject it you

[4:04] should now reject if you reject the the

[4:07] routing that day for whatever reason it

[4:10] is once you have accepted

[4:12] then you're going to be taking off the

[4:15] list of routing for one week that's one

[4:18] reason rejecting a call rejecting a a

[4:22] a routing uh it's penalty you have a

[4:26] penalty of one week off the the list for

[4:29] a routing

[4:30] uh

[4:32] for the routing completely you're off

[4:34] for one week now or the reason why you

[4:36] should be you're gonna be taking off the

[4:38] list if you over sleep if you don't

[4:41] awake if you don't get up

[4:44] at on time for the first pick up

[4:46] then you also penalize for one week of

[4:48] the routing one week

[4:50] once uh if you do that three times

[4:53] three times you do that that's the

[4:56] strike three times you punch punch out

[4:59] you will be take out taking you'll be

[5:02] taken out of the routing for forever so

[5:05] three times you reject or oversleep you

[5:09] out there the routing so routing is

[5:11] beautifully because you you go to sleep

[5:14] and you know exactly

[5:16] when to pick up what time and everything

[5:19] is set up for the next day guarantee at

[5:22] least 135 dollars from four to nine

[5:25] that's a minimum sometimes you make more

[5:28] on that routing depending on the route

[5:30] as as i said before the routing could be

[5:32] different sometimes you you you do that

[5:35] in five six jobs sometimes you have to

[5:37] do seven ten jobs to accomplish that but

[5:40] that's uh the system you know

[5:42] automatically made this adjustment so we

[5:45] have not too much to do

[5:47] with the routing anymore so the system

[5:50] do it every day so something else that

[5:53] we cook in here in agape transportation

[5:55] is the

[5:57] uh the limouses is jay limo is adding a

[6:00] feature that we asked a long time ago

[6:02] that the driver is going to be able

[6:04] coming soon the driver is going to be

[6:06] able to see how much

[6:08] exactly how much the check is going to

[6:10] be for the for this wednesday and also

[6:13] the driver will will be able to see how

[6:16] much money they make in that day or up

[6:19] to that day

[6:20] so you're gonna have life on your tablet

[6:23] you go to uh my info on top on the right

[6:27] on on you on your tablet

[6:29] on my info you're gonna see how much is

[6:31] gonna be your check for the last week

[6:33] and how much money you have been making

[6:36] up to that date isn't that beautiful

[6:39] coming soon they finalizing that so that

[6:43] we have no glitch over there but that's

[6:45] something that we requested that and we

[6:47] thought was wonderful for the driver so

[6:50] you're going to be able to see how much

[6:52] you're making

[6:53] uh up to that day at any time on your

[6:56] tablet

[6:57] uh

[6:58] uh another thing that we have what

[7:01] the new accounts we have a couple of

[7:03] news new accounts

[7:05] uh

[7:06] uh one of them called mta the mta and

[7:09] the other accounting doe department of

[7:12] education

[7:13] the mta accessories from the city and

[7:17] doa department of education now the

[7:20] department of education is sending some

[7:22] some kits

[7:24] by car so we have the that availability

[7:28] that they ask us to you know to cover

[7:30] those calls but that's two accounts mta

[7:34] and do8 a very very volatile account

[7:37] those accounts when once you have one of

[7:40] those accounts you should call right

[7:42] away for the customer you should call

[7:44] right away the customer if when you call

[7:47] there is no contact or otherwise

[7:50] you have to notify the base immediately

[7:52] send a text saying no

[7:55] account mta or doh no answer and the the

[8:00] dispatcher will be will cancel that call

[8:03] right away so don't waste

[8:05] time on these two accounts could be a

[8:08] huge volume on that account but it's a

[8:10] little

[8:12] not so safe to make so you have to call

[8:15] them please

[8:17] make sure you don't waste time on this

[8:19] account you send the drive before you

[8:20] cancel of course the base have to cancel

[8:23] you but you you immediately you send

[8:25] that uh

[8:28] uh

[8:29] the the the text saying that uh you have

[8:32] no contact and uh we have no waste or no

[8:35] no waiting no wait on that and that we

[8:38] immediately cancel you from that account

[8:41] mta mta and uh doe department of

[8:46] education i have a great potential so we

[8:49] also have the news that we have a couple

[8:51] of

[8:52] insurance company that nowadays they use

[8:55] us through the through the

[8:57] other uh brokerage and they they uh

[9:00] inquiring

[9:09] conversation with they they checking the

[9:11] legal

[9:12] uh proceedings on this but they they

[9:14] willing to go directly with us without

[9:17] going through any so that we have

[9:19] control over the pricing and we can

[9:22] increase the price for the drivers about
