Well...........I think it suits my company for me to take the van home, as the depot is 172 miles away! Also, as an extreme example, I have 2 customers that are a 2 and a half hour drive from home. I wouldn't be prepared to do that for nothing! It would also mean working a 13 hour day to get paid for 8, whilst the company still charges the customer for the travel. On balance I think losing half an hour a day is reasonable, IF you agreed to it when taking the job. Having it imposed on you is a bit different though.
