Pipe fitters working for a fire sprinkler company made daily trips to the companys warehouse to retrieve

Question:

Pipe fitters working for a fire sprinkler company made daily trips to the company’s warehouse to retrieve tools, equipment, and supplies that they needed for the jobs they were working on that day. At the end of the workday, they returned to the warehouse to unload the tools and any unused supplies The company did not want supplies and tools delivered directly to the job sites or kept in trucks overnight because they were very expensive. Pipe fitters spent at least thirty minutes loading supplies at the warehouse each morning. They were told to pick up their supplies early enough to allow them to get to job sites by 7 a.m. In practice, this meant that the pipe fitters had to get to the warehouse by about 5:30 a.m. The company paid the pipe fitters only for those hours between when they arrived at the first job site and when they departed their last job of the day. The pipe fitters sued under the FLSA. Was the time spent at the warehouse compensable? The time spent driving between the warehouse and job site? Why or why not?
