Delivery Driver Mileage Deduction

I have seen your experts telling people that are independent contractor delivery drivers that their home is their principal place of business so mileage to and from home is deductible. Isn't it true that to be considered your principal place of business, you have to qualify for a home office deduction for those miles to be deductible, otherwise it is commuting?

They are not explaining that the IRS has strict definitions of what qualifies as a home office and principal place of business.
