Sure you can. I used to, a lot of the time riding a motorcycle to the job site, or driving the Austin-Healey. Later on I used to do the "punch list" work on job sites (fixing up all the niggling little bugs needed for final approval) driving a Mazda RX-3 wagon. (The company did commercial construction all over the west, and it was great for long highway cruising.)
What you don't seem to realize here is that if you're working normal construction, that ton of wood or concrete is delivered to the job site, then the workers take days or weeks installing it, so you have e.g. one heavy truck trip with materials plus 20, 40, or more trips carrying a single worker and maybe a few tools. It's just an ego thing that a lot of the workers think the need to take themselves to the job site in a F-350 4x4.
