Do employers have to pay drive time?

Hi, I work a construction job in Canada and was curious if I should get paid for driving. A little breakdown of my day to help better understand my situation: I leave my house at 5am and pick up guys from my company (none of them have licenses) and meet at our company shop for 6am. From there I drive my crew to our job site and arrive at 7am. We work our day till 3pm and head back to the shop, get there around 4pm, then I spend the next hour dropping off guys at their homes and I only get home around 5pm. So my quarrel is with me being gone from home for 12 hours and only getting paid for 8. What can I do about this? I know rules for construction jobs differ but this just seems unfair
