Road techs that take their service vans home, how far is too far?

Our road techs take their vans home every night. Non of them live farther out than about a 20 mile radius from our shop. Occasionally we have a tech apply that lives twice that far away.
Any opinions on how their pay should be structured to accommodate the additional cost of that vehicle being driven twice the amount of what we already have built in to our service rates and pay rates?
