The FMCSA has said, they wouldn't regulate package cars unless they cross state lines.
Also.... package cars drivers aren't required to have a DOT medical card.... UPS requires it, because they are self insured.

I can prove you wrong.
"If you drive short distances in a truck that does not require a commercial driver’s license (CDL),
you might be able to use the non-CDL short-haul exception................................You can only use this exception if you:
• Drive a truck that is a “commercial motor vehicle” but does not require a CDL, and
• Work within a 150 air-mile radius (see p. 3 for explanation of “air miles”) of your normal work
reporting location and return there each day."
SO far so good for your belief, but lets continue:
"Effective July 1, 2013, drivers operating under this exception may not drive if more than 8 consecutive
hours have passed since the last off-duty period of at least 30 minutes."
