[11:49] promotion

[11:50] investing in in our uh

[11:53] employees inside in in our equipment so

[11:57] we we uh now we agape is now 100

[12:01] cloud-based dispatching we are on the

[12:05] cloud so everything telephone and

[12:07] dispatching system is percent in the

[12:09] cloud that means we can transmit we can

[12:12] dispatch from anywhere in the world that

[12:15] we have uh

[12:17] all we need is internet so we can go

[12:21] we when 100

[12:23] cloud-based so

[12:24] you see some improvements on uh program

[12:28] to work a little bit faster there is a

[12:30] lot of adjustment that we're still doing

[12:32] but eventually it's going to be faster

[12:35] everything is going to be smoother um

[12:38] of course everything

[12:40] that we have to do everything that we

[12:42] have to do in order for you to work

[12:45] smoothly and that you know you you spend

[12:48] the less time possible for making the

[12:50] much more possible in agape so we're

[12:53] still guaranteeing uh the 25 dollar

[12:56] media average average per call

[12:59] if you dedicate all you dedicated to

[13:01] agape the whole day we guarantee you 26

[13:05] dollar average

[13:06] minimum

[13:07] average 26 there is drivers that they

[13:10] make that they make

[13:13] 30 35 even 40 dollars average per call

[13:17] so here in agape so that's guaranteed

[13:20] but you have to dedicate 100 to

[13:23] aggravate to see that result

[13:25] we we have uh drivers that pass the

[13:28] the past this year hundred hundred

[13:30] thousand dollars that they make more

[13:32] than one hundred thousand dollars those

[13:34] drivers make twenty five hundred three

[13:36] thousand dollars eighteen hundred

[13:38] fifteen hundred dollars eight a week

[13:41] here working in arabic it's a matter of

[13:44] you learn the system you accomplish but

[13:46] make sure

[13:47] that you don't get distracted with two

[13:49] or three tablets on your sit on your

[13:51] card so sometimes the driver believe

[13:54] that if they work for three companies at

[13:56] the same time they're gonna get three

[13:58] jobs every time in the three system

[14:00] three devices but if you try one we want

[14:04] you to for the new drivers as i told as

[14:06] i told them in in the interview

[14:09] that if they give us two full day trying

[14:12] agape and uh you know you're not gonna

[14:15] be i mean full full day without any

[14:18] other uh any tablet any other company so

[14:21] that you can see the the

[14:23] the results

[14:24] hundred percent working for our we have

[14:26] drivers that pay off the car they have

[14:29] their houses they they bought the

[14:31] apartments i mean working in this

[14:33] company now that's why we encourage the

[14:35] driver to be organized to be uh

[14:39] gold minded they have to to have you you

[15:12] the feedback that we have for customers

[15:14] that we have for years uh writing with

[15:16] us how how the drivers treat them how
