Furthermore, since you have a type rating in said plane then for that portion of the flight it would stand to reason that you should be able to log that time.
In full disclosure, I don't know what the FARs have to say on this. I'm only wondering if I can log it to boost my PIC from 800 to 1000

Interesting questions:
Three references:
From UPS job page
https://www.jobs-ups.com/job/louisvi...r/1187/1238146
they define PIC as per Regulation
Pilot in Command, per 14 CFR 1.1, means the person who:
•Has final authority and responsibility for the operation and safety of the flight
•Has been designated as the pilot in command before or during the flight
•Holds the appropriate category, class, and type rating, if appropriate, for the conduct of the flight
The 14 CFR 1.1 lists the 3 elements as 1,2,3
FAR Part 1 Sec. 1.1 effective as of 12/21/2015
Finally, third reference:You are asking about the second point when more than one pilot is required under the type certification of the aircraft or the regulations under which the flight is conducted for logging PIC.
Here is one FAA legal discussion on this matter:

Just ensure you can defend your position if choose to include said time as a rated pilot in an interview. Guessing the interviewers will go simple intepretation.
