# Can new joiners use company transport from day one?

**Short answer:** Yes, once HR adds them before the cut-off.

Yes. Once HR adds a new joiner to the roster **before the cut-off time**, they are placed on a route and can travel from their first shift. Tell them the **pickup point and timing**, the vehicle, and the coordinator's number; the driver wears a uniform and carries an ID card.
