'birth' of drive-time regulations

...a little background on myself - I have always been in shipping/distribution in all of my working life, and trucking is a catagory that is involved in that same heading (shipping/distribution), but I just started (maybe somewhat late in life) in the actual driving of a commercial vehicle in mid 2010, which also includes driving a 18-wheeler the last 20 months, and currently. In these previous 20 months, the first year I was driving over-the-road, and now I currently drive a day-cab, where I am now home everyday. This is where I am now.

...to my questions - I guess my question is based on some 'trucking history'...back in the day where unions, government regulations, (and maybe even a few riots) were all the 'rave'. - my questions - were one of the reasons of the 'birth' of these regulations include the 'need' to regulate how much time in a day/week that a driver could drive?...and was it because, at the time, drivers could basically drive as much as they wanted to?
