Why am I not getting any assignments?

The number of assignments depends on our clients' requests, so if you haven't had any assignments lately, it probably means that fewer assignments have been scheduled recently. Unfortunately this is out of our control and depends on our clients requesting assignments in a given period and in the area you operate in.
