How should you handle them? Safely of course.

Instead of flipping them off you can always just give them a big thumbs down

Slow down and let them pass if applicable, pretty much make them as mad as they making you they will get the hint or make for a good reaction when they drive by you.

Decrease speed. Increase following distance.

Lol that's how i feel. As long as they're behind me, i could careless. Enjoy the view!
It makes me laugh when they're so close they can't pass once i stop, hop out with the pkg, then i look right at them as i walk to the customer front door, like a runway model.

It makes me laugh when they're so close they can't pass once i stop,

Seems to happen a couple times a week on my route. And it is shocking that a UPS vehicle with brake lights and flashers on would be coming to a stop. Maybe they've just gotten used to Amazon pulling into every driveway?

Either that is burning a hell of a lot of oil, or the clutch in that truck just went up in smoke - literally.

I'm kinda surprised UPS doesn't have signage on the back of the package cars like a fire truck does. Something like, "Frequent Stops, Stay Back 100 Feet". , with highly reflective striping on the back of the vehicle.

I've been saying this for years.
If a construction truck hauling rocks can get stickers so can we!
I even thought about going to Kinkos and getting one created to throw on my pc but then i woke up.

Everyone once in a while I'll flick my parking lights on to back them off a little bit

That's a really good idea... should be standard with most of the delivery companies.

I've also seen some school busses with white strobe lights on the roof to show other layman drivers that they're actively picking up/ dropping off kids...

Rooftoop strobe lights now on Durham school buses
