Is there any way to approach the boss to get back to the position they were hired for?
Well, let's see. Why not approach the boss and tell him that you [read: your friend] is very excited to work for the company, you understand that some changes were unavoidable because of the merger, but would he please keep in mind that traveling on the job will be absolutely no problem should the possibility arise.
During a merger one is usually lucky if one gets to keep a job at all, especially if one is just about to start.
