The rules for business vehicles are complicated.  You'll find a detailed explanation here:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/tax-tips/Small-Business-Taxes/Business-Use-of-Vehicles/INF1207...

You can deduct the BUSINESS miles.  Your logo does not make all miles business miles, and commuting miles to and from their homes are not business miles.

The value of personal miles driven by your employees (including commuting miles to and from their home) may need to be added to their taxable pay on their W-2.
