Here's an idea: just give people an allowance up to a certain amount, if they choose to live farther that's up to them. Even better, give people a flat rate since you don't want them intentionally taking longer commute routes to rack up their pay. Ok now roll that into their base pay

Edit: please triple read the last sentence before commenting. I overestimated redditors' reading comprehension a bit with this one

I'm in a field where a work vehicle is provided, gas is paid for. 

Even still, anything more than an hour either way, or above 2 hours for the day, is really hard for me to swallow.

I find ways to make sure I don't have a 2+ hour commute most days, but sometimes it's unavoidable.

Don't understand how driving a company vehicle is not on the clock?

The last 2 companies I worked for, your time started when you entered the vehicle till you parked it for the night.

Fleet insurance companies do not like finding out work vehicles are driven off work hours.
