Do you like the 34 hour restart, 11 hour driving time, 14 hour on duty time, and 10 hours off before driving again?
Hate it?
Like part of it?
Think there should be different regulations for Package Drivers vs. Feeder Drivers?
(creative way to fix your over 9.5 problem....)

SUGGESTION: If I were a Package Driver I would suggest reducing the 'on duty' time during extreme cold or hot weather.
If you want to address 9.5's permanently, I would suggest modifying 395.1(e)(2)(v) to say "The driver does not drive more than 9.5 hours following at least 10 consecutive hours off duty" and ask for a section to be added that recognized all time "on road" as driving time unless specifically off duty such as lunch or break.
