If their office is your main place of work, and it sounds like it is since you talk about "to/from work everyday", then no, from home going to work and back is commuting expense and not deductible.
If they send you to other sites during the workday, the mileage between sites could be deducted.

Business mileage, such as driving from assignment to assignment, is a deductible expense, to the extent that it exceeds any payments from your employer. Daily commuting from/to your residence to/from your work is considered a personal expense, and therefore not deductible.

If your company reimburses you 1/2 then you can write off the difference using IRS form 2106. that flows through to itemized deductions subject to 2 % of your AGI. If you do not itemize, there will be no tax benefit.

Adding to VB's answer, commuting costs are deductible only if you have a qualified home office.

The IRS will consider the first and last trips of the day to be commuting expenses. (Even if you are on the phone.)
Commuting expenses are not deductible.
