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.

Did you forget who you work for
That costs money

How should you handle them? Safely of course.

Brake check’em
What else would you do

Not in the budget this year....we should feel lucky we got a small reflective strip on our new shirts.

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

Please explain to our younger viewers, what a clutch is, I am pretty sure 90 percent of younger drivers wouldn't know what to do with it.

When you need a lighter for your cigarette. Then your friend shows up with one. He came in “clutch”

Thats not oil.... it's just unburned diesel. They all do that on a cold start.

I understand that, but, if they preach safety the should act it also. Without having done the cost analysis and just relying on an uneducated guess, it would seem to me that the cost spent to add the safety stripping would be far less than the cost of repairing a PC with rear-end damage or the medical costs of an injured driver. The old saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" certainly applies here.

Pull the handbrake when they get really close

Write it in the dirt from the lack of carwashes. That's free.

no one tailgates a manual transmission!

I miss my old Freightliner at times. Just rev that sucker and fog em' out! It looked like the mosquito truck! Worked great on those fruity looking outfit wearing-snobby punks on bikes too!

You don't know a delivery truck might make sudden stops?

Yeah right! Just a combination of CYA and doing a little something to at least show you are trying to protect the drivers besides sewing reflective stripes on their shirts.
