[QUOTE="hypocrisy, post: 730026, member: 9500"] 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....) Submit your comments NOW to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Go here: [URL]http://www.regulations.gov/search/Regs/home.html#documentDetail?R=0900006480358402[/URL] then click the hyperlinked text which should be about in the upper middle of your screen that says "Submit Comment". (yes I did the hard work negotiating a cumbersome Government website for you) Last time they had a comment period, only about 200 comments were received [I]nationwide.[/I] Make your voice heard. 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.
