[0:01] good afternoon ladies and gentlemen my

[0:03] name is mario mario sena president and

[0:06] founder of agape transportation and this

[0:09] is the

[0:11] agape drivers podcast informative so we

[0:15] have some information about the market

[0:18] what's going on at agape transportation

[0:20] and we have a new from tlc tlc so let's

[0:24] start it right away this is informative

[0:26] podcast for our

[0:29] driver

[0:31] the tlc tlc have a new commissioner tlc

[0:35] have new commissioner that mr david dew

[0:38] is the new commissioner uh for taxi and

[0:41] limousine commission

[0:43] named by

[0:44] our mayor adams

[0:46] adams had placed david du from

[0:49] washington dc

[0:51] uh debbie do as a new commissioner for

[0:54] tlc

[0:55] i understand that the group of base

[0:58] owner

[0:59] has already

[1:01] meeting meet with them with mr do and

[1:05] they considering

[1:07] tlc is considering against to open up

[1:10] the opportunity for new plates

[1:13] uh in order to have new cars in the

[1:15] market so they figuring figuring out

[1:18] uh whether they open the new

[1:21] plate for uh all the industry or for the

[1:25] sector of the engines maybe for delivery

[1:27] for the black car uh so they figured it

[1:29] out but they they interested the the

[1:32] base owner

[1:34] uh bring the the

[1:36] the need for more drivers more new

[1:39] drivers so one of the things that tlc

[1:42] doesn't really have have not realized is

[1:44] the new commerce uh in the city people

[1:47] that come into the city for the first

[1:49] time

[1:50] uh usually three five six months later

[1:53] they're already

[1:55] driving as a cab driver here in new york

[1:57] city so it's very important to have more

[2:00] drivers to have more cars

[2:02] available for the new commerce also

[2:04] that's one thing and some drivers that

[2:07] for some reason they they're ready now

[2:09] to have the new cars and they don't have

[2:11] uh availability for the new place so the

[2:14] information is that the new commissioner

[7:10] you better think about it but this is

[7:12] going to be the future because of the

[7:14] gas i don't they got the price of the

[7:16] gasoline it is not going to go down

[7:19] anytime soon so

[7:21] so we have the charger we have the the

[7:24] tesla

[7:25] and now we have packet tech bucket tech

[7:27] what is pakitek pakitek is a company

[7:30] affiliated with agape transportation

[7:33] which work exclusively on delivery from

[7:36] pharmacy

[7:38] so we do delivery from pharmacies to the

[7:41] homes or the those clients from those uh

[7:45] for that pharmacy so up to now six

[7:48] months full working we have already

[7:50] delivered close to 35 000 packages

[7:54] already

[7:55] 35 packages in about six seven months we

[7:58] have a network already of 17 pharmacies

[8:02] including one pharmacy in connecticut

[8:05] stanford connecticut we already have one

[8:08] pharmacy out of the new york city area

[8:11] so any pharmacy

[8:13] could be part of the network of pakitek

[8:16] how would that work how that works for

[8:18] our members the members that we already

[8:21] transporting or any family that you have

[8:23] doesn't have to be a customer or agape

[8:25] transportation in order to have that

[8:27] benefit

[8:29] uh

[8:30] if a customer yourself or some some

[8:34] your grandma they need to they have no

[8:36] time to go to the pharmacy to pick up

[8:38] the the prescription

[8:41] one of these pharmacy we have a network

[8:43] already of 17 we're going to send you a

[8:46] link with the list

[8:47] of all the pharmacy we have already in

[8:50] the network if the doctor send

[8:53] your

[8:54] prescription

[8:55] you at that area of those pharmacy those

[8:59] pharmacies send it through a packet tech

[9:02] at no cost to you we have already 17 of

[9:06] them where the the members the the

[9:08] patient yourself your family anybody

[9:11] that you know can send

[9:13] the doctor can send the prescription the

[9:15] medicine to that pharmacy any of those

[9:18] 17 and of course that's just a study so

[9:21] we every day we have um

[9:24] the the pharmacy that are calling us in

[9:27] order to belong to the network of packet

[9:29] tech so we're already delivering

[9:32] packages uh

[9:34] remember some time that the when you

[9:36] take a patient to a doctor's office or

[9:38] on the way back home

[9:40] they sometimes they try they ask you to

[9:42] stop in the pharmacy

[9:44] and it's not allowed the insurer doesn't

[9:46] allow us to make stops

[9:49] with the customer other than the

[9:51] destination they go into so that problem

[9:54] is already solved that kind of agape

[9:58] transportation all they have to do is

[10:00] call us and we let them know which

[10:02] pharmacy near them

[10:05] we can send by the time they get home

[10:08] with the agape transportation car

[10:11] we already have a a packet tech driver

[10:14] delivering the pharmacy to their house

[10:17] to their home

[10:19] is amazing the combination now every any

[10:22] any any members of agape transportation

[10:25] is qualified to get the free pharmacy

[10:29] delivery of anybody in the public so

[10:32] by the way

[10:33] in pakitek since the ground is being so

[10:37] fast we already have about 19 employees

[10:40] already on tech pakitek is looking

[10:44] help wanted

[10:46] we need drivers

[10:48] with car

[10:50] uh doesn't have to be tlc private car

[10:54] we need people also to help the drivers

[10:56] so we usually send two person per driver

[11:00] to make it fast and make it safer in the

[11:02] city and faster

[11:04] better survey with two people so we're

[11:06] looking for drivers that have any kind

[11:08] of car any doesn't have to be tlc and

[11:11] those people that want to work as a

[11:12] helper

[11:13] with the drivers it could be full-time

[11:16] or can be part-time we're looking for

[11:19] people that want to work in the city or

[11:22] in any state but eventually we're going

[11:25] to be opening in florida in california

[11:28] new jersey all over the place with

[11:31] packet tech services so it's easy that

[11:34] the same way we did it in stanford

[11:36] connecticut we contacted the the the

[11:39] delivery guy there we have the the

[11:41] pharmacy and we we send them the routing

[11:44] for that day communication the

[11:46] headquarters directly from new york city

[11:48] we're going to be directing all the

[11:50] deliveries in all the states eventually

[11:53] tech is going

[11:55] all over the the united states coming

[11:58] soon already 17 pharmacy have signed up

[12:02] we are in conversation with the big big

[12:05] pharmacy

[12:06] walgreens

[12:08] cbs uh walmart's pharmacy

[12:12] and also costco costco pharmacy so once

[12:17] we have those customers set in our

[12:20] network

[12:22] we're gonna need a lot of people a lot

[12:24] of people working for delivery so this

[12:27] is a open window

[12:29] an opportunity that we have

[12:31] for somebody like you your husband your

[12:34] wife that doesn't have the work on tlc

[12:37] uh

[12:38] anybody it doesn't have to have license

[12:40] it doesn't have to have a car we need

[12:43] people right now right now as we speak

[12:46] we need people already

[12:48] they have to call the base

[12:50] you can call the direct number driver's

[12:52] number uh

[12:54] they give you information right there

[13:06] as i mentioned before

[13:08] with labs

[13:10] and

[13:11] specialty pharmacy that they send

[13:15] devices and and tests long distance so

[13:19] for instance we might have a blood test

[13:21] in new york city that need to be

[13:24] transported

[13:25] physically to philadelphia or boston or

[13:29] upstate new york then we're going to use

[13:32] the agape transportation regular car for

[13:35] those long distance so we're talking

[13:36] about we're going to have for

[13:38] transportation

[13:39] we're going to have trips you know 250

[13:43] 300 trips 400 trips

[13:45] with those packages from the pharmacy

[13:48] from the hospital

[13:50] excuse me so it's going to be a win-win

[13:52] for everybody we need help

[13:55] for tech

[13:57] for the new drivers also we of course we

[14:00] need new driver for uh agape

[14:02] transportation we're given four weeks

[14:04] free for the first four weeks free no

[14:07] base fee

[14:08] for the new drivers

[14:10] and also we have of course you do 50

[14:13] calls or more you don't have to pay base

[14:16] fee so we take no commission out of the

[14:18] the price of the vouchers and we you pay

[14:22] no base fee the first four weeks as the

[14:24] new drivers or if you make 50 calls or
