Yes.

The round-trip mileage from the office to the work sites can be deducted as a job expense.

If you go directly to the job site without visiting your regular work place, the round trip to the work site from your home is deductible.

According to the IRS:

"If you work at two places in one day, whether or not for the same employer, you can deduct the expense of getting from one workplace to the other. However, if for some personal reason you don’t go directly from one location to the other, you can’t deduct more than the amount it would have cost you to go directly from the first location to the second.”...

“If you have one or more regular work locations away from your home and you commute to a temporary work location in the same trade or business, you can deduct the expenses of the daily round-trip transportation between your home and the temporary location, regardless of distance.”
