The memory is the second thing that goes.
Correct.
They are also exempt from the 30 minute rest period before 8 hours of on duty time.
And, as long as they are relieved of duty within 12 hours. Anyone working over 12 hours without taking a lunch until the end of day has violated HOS.
Yes.
Incorrect.
They are still subject to only 11 hours of driving.
Correct.
But they still must follow 11 hours of driving time.
Even working 14 hours, no package driver will drive for more than 11 hours, but, the 11 hour rule still applies.
Correct.
Even if you are not spending half your time not driving.
Just a quarter of the time not driving, say a 200 mile 60 stop country route, you will never exceed 11 hours drive time.
Incorrect.
You did, and you are correct, on this point.
But, all other time for a package driver is considered on duty, not on duty-driving as you posted.
