Husband leaving for work and taking 3 friends is it fair to charge them gas money?

My husbands job is requiring him to go out of state to work for a month or two.Some of his friends asked him if they can go with him cause they all are going to the same place. My husbands job is giving him a extra check for gas money and food since he is taking his truck. Is it fair to charge gas money on the friends going with him too...They can take their own car but they have no license..Husband leaving for work and taking 3 friends is it fair to charge them gas money?
The word most are missing here is friends. You don't charge your friends gas money, especially since your husbands company is paying him gas money. Now if they are truly friends and appreciate the ride they will offer.Husband leaving for work and taking 3 friends is it fair to charge them gas money?
Yes, it is fair to charge gas money. His friends don't need to know the details of his arrangements with his employer and your husband is still doing the driving since his friends are not legally allowed to drive because they have no license.


Also, I think it's at your husbands discretion to give them a ride or not. Unless the truck is his, as in genuine ownership- not a truck that is assigned to him by the company (in which case, he wouldn't be authorized to have any passengers unless cleared by the company) it's very much his call. I would think the friends may realize that for him driving them such large distances, that a thank you amount is ok because drivers need coffee and a sandwich here and there. Your husband will still be driving them around and drop them off at their destination and he'll be doing it on company time.


Again, your husband knows better what he wishes to do.
yes it is more than fair to charge for gas money. I wonder why the company is not providing transportation for the friends that do not have a drivers license ? I would guess the company has made arrangements for all, also in the form of a check. Your husband does deserve to charge for passengers. I know that I would. And remember the friends will also need transportation while @ their new job location.
Yes it is because if they were each taking their own vehicles they would have to pay for gas. Today it's to expensive to let people ride for free, whether it be friends or family.


Even if it's 10 bucks each it will help with the gas cost. And they can't understand it then their not good friends.
I wouldn't ';charge'; them, since they are friends. If they offer to pay, or buy him food along the way, or whatever, then that's great.
There is nothing wrong in it, getting benefited out of the situation.
