If you drop your entire schedule, then get hurt or sick and can't work, you are unable to pick up trips and will get very little hours for the month. Just a caution. One broken bone with an empty schedule will result in your schedule staying empty.

I drop my entire schedule and it has bitten me twice....2 different deaths in family.
You get a few trips dropped with pay normally.
But with no trips on schedule...no pay.
One of my 15th/ month pay checks was $100!

The benefits wrt to pay and QOL far outweigh the down side of having something happen and losing out on a month. Plus if you're past 1st year and living such that you can't handle such a thing happening for a single month, you should probably reevaluate your financial planning.
