Do you have reliable transportation?

Reliable transportation can be a personal vehicle, Uber, public transportation, carpool, motorcycle or bicycle, or walking. Focus on describing what form of reliable transportation you will use to get to work if hired.

You want to avoid saying that you have not determined how you will get to work each day. If you have not planned ahead, the interviewer will think you are unreliable and not focused on your career. You also want to avoid saying you have an old vehicle that is somewhat reliable. If the interviewer feels that you may be late to work because your car broke down, they may pass you over for another candidate.

"Yes, I have reliable transportation. I bought a new truck last year and have never had mechanical issues. I maintain my truck and follow the service manual recommendations. If something were to happen to my vehicle, I also have a five-year-old motorcycle that is mechanically sound. Getting to work will never be a problem for me if you choose to offer me the position, and I typically arrive half an hour before my shift starts."
