Guess I'll kick a little mud in this one. I drive my company van home. Depends on where I am going and what customer I am going to if I charge time from home or not. Company charges hours I put on Job ticket, travel time is not an extra add nor is it seperatred out. I don't complain aboutr a little extra here and there, because I would not drive my own vehicle to the shop to pick up my van. One hour and 45 minutes minimum each way home to shop, that's an extra three or four hours added to the work day. It would be a minimum of 1 hour back to shop from my last customer then 1 hour and 45 minutes home. I can be home from the customer in an hour. You really can't put this egg in one basket, there are to many variables. I think it depends on who, when, where as to how it works best for those involved. Doesn't hurt my feelings to park the van in my yard, just means I don't have to pay insurance on two vehicles to get to work. We aren't given a 1099 because we are on 24 hour call, not that we get called out very often.
