Information for Company Drivers

Who is a “Company Driver”?

There are several types of Company drivers - you could be required to drive as a part of your job (e.g. security patrol, sales person, or are working a delivery assignment) or you could have to rent a car if you are out of town for a business reason. You also are considered a driver if you have to drive between two worksite locations during the course of your job (but typically not ‘off the clock’ driving from your home to the worksite and/or from the worksite back to your home).
