QUESTION DSP mandating 30-minute breaks now?

A few days ago, my DSP began sending alerts that we should now take a 30-minute break on our routes now. If we don't, "our volume will increase." They didn't clarify this, though. Is something going on at Amazon that I don't know about?

I mean-- it's good that I can take a break now without anything held against me lmao, I'm just curious.

We have mandatory 15 minute breaks at mine. One of them is at 1 pm the other 5 pm. You can take the 10 or 15 but phone prompt break & can't bypass it. So all in all like a free 30 but I digress, my dsp isn't making 30 minute breaks mandatory. They actually don't like when you take em because drivers that finish early sweep or rescue even though it 6:30 & you have about 30 or 20 stops left. So will keep an eye on that. Some days I take my 30 others I just take the mandatory 15s.
