Oil level in RAM Cummins Diesel engines

Curious question here. I have had my oil changed numerous times by 3 different RAM dealerships, and the oil level on the dipstick is confusing. I typically have them change the full synthetic oil in my Cummins 6.7 HO turbo Diesel motor every 5,000 miles because I am mostly pulling my Montana. But look at the two pics, and the oil level is "Always" past the safe area on the dipstick and goes to the next bulge in the dipstick, about 3/8' past the safe area. No comments from the peanut gallery, but is my dipstick too long? Are they just pumping in a recommended number of quarts?, or is this where the oil level should be? See the two pics.
