I agree with Kevin on this one - it is difficult to find an 'acceptable' distance for travel and may well depend on circumstances - one hour in some areas could mean 60 miles, whilst in other areas it may be less than 20 miles. However, the employer really needs to define and work with a clear policy on this. One hour is usually thought to be about right, but there should be some flexibility built in to allow for local circumstances.
Yes - drivers should be trained and if necessary should be allowed additional rest times. Journeys of more than two hours (beginning or end of week) should be partly within work time and should involve more than one driver.
