Here in Canada the gov't can nail you with a company vehicle, so we work everyday like we are at a shop, ie our hours are 730-4, our vans are our personal vehicles, when you come in its on your own time untill 730, unless you start the job earlier, I leave at 630, not paid, start at 730, paid, end at 400 get home at 500, the hour after 400 not paid, unless I have to travel to the customer, ie 3hour drive from my house, it would be paid because of the service call rates
