Just heard today during the PCM. DOT mandatory 11 hour limit on driving.

Package drivers are under the 14 hour window rule.Driving? No package car driver drives 11 hours in a day.

That's the same here. The 12 hour limit is UPS's way of keeping you under 60 hours a week.Package drivers are under the 14 hour window rule.
Here we have been forbidden to work after 12 hours and now its 11.
Same here. Nobody over 12hrs unless you will have missed. Then its 13 hrs. If you still will have missed, goes up to 14. Quite a circus around here when IE gets some off brand crack and cuts our center to the bone.
I call BS. Not on you Mr Shifter, but on whoever read that PCM. In packages we are under the 14 hr rule or 60 hrs per week.
This is not new, and for all practical purposes it only pal lies to feeder drivers. It means you can only DRIVE for 11 hours. You can be on the clock for much more than that, but the actual drive time cannot go over 11 hours, or you violate. The changes are referring to meal periods. If you work 8 hours, you are required to take 30 consecutive minutes before the 8 hours. This applies to all vehicles over 10,001 pounds, which would seem to mean package cars.
11 hours driving refers to your time behind the wheel with the PC running. It does not include any time delivering/picking up while your vehicle is parked.
