Workers with appropriate licenses and a valid doctor's certificate may drive other workers in these company vehicles. The vehicles provided to workers (van, pick-up truck, etc.) are for multi-purpose use on an as-needed basis (e.g., driving workers from employer-provided housing directly to the farm, around the farm properties during the workday, possibly carrying equipment/supplies with them).
