Dropping trips is voluntary.
Oh yeah, the fine print is why I am asking. I have searched the contract for hours and was not able to find anything that says what will happen if you go below 50. I think I remember during indoc something about you having to pay part of LTD and insurance if this happens, but I don't remember.
My intention is that I will pick up another trip, but if there are nothing but overnighters and MEX trips, maybe I won't. Unless the company makes it painful to do so.
