Based on your example, the travel time from the shop to the worksite roundtrip would be compensable. Here is what US DOL has to say on the subject: http://www.dol.gov/dol/allcfr/ESA/Title_29/Part_785/29CFR785.38.htm.

The above answer assumes that you are correctly classified as non-exempt under FLSA. This just means that you'd qualify for overtime should it be worked.
