    They did the same thing with e-logs when they came out. It was meant to keep everyone safe by only allowing you to drive when you had legal hours. I am almost certain that the language tjhat the FMCSA used was that carriers were not supposed to use it to abuse their drivers. And that's literally the first thing every dispatcher I've ever seen did. Dispatchers could now view all of our logs on their computers and they knew who had how much legal work time left. And they squezed every work minute out of us. There was no more coming back early cause you had something to take care of after work. First in, first one to go right back out. Doesn't matter if you had 10, 12, or 13 hours already in. The way they saw it, you could work 16 hours at least one time a week. What was supposed to be rules for driver's discretion ended up as carrier convenience.
