Dear Bernie, You'll need to speak with a tax preparer or accountant about the specifics of your situation, but the short answer is that yes, you probably can get a tax deduction for the miles you drive in your car to different construction sites.
A brief note: With mileage, the taxpayer can deduct total business miles driven or actual auto expenses like fuel and maintenance. In my opinion, using the mileage rate is the better alternative in most cases, at least for the one person business because it is much easier to do.
