    I literally read something this afternoon that it can only count as your working hours if you don't have a set place of work and have to travel to different locations

    Do you leave from home to first job or do you go into base?

    Providing you are paid more than NMW (and I suspect you are) and your examples are say once a week only then I would simply make you salaried and allow the inclusion of travelling time into this- Unlikely to put you below NMW across a pay period.
