@LGRM...
I have a similar situation. I remember YEARS AGO when I was making trips across the state every week to visit my dying Granny. I was going through some remote areas that don't get shopped often and I was fine with picking up a shop or two to offset travel costs; stretch my legs, etc.
So each week, a scheduler would ask me to pick up one or two from the job board. One week, I told Scheduler that I had decided that I was going to drive straight through, as things were progressing quickly for my Granny.
**NOTE: I had NOT picked up any shops for that week; I was NOT "declining" or "flaking," I was just telling Scheduler that I would prefer to drive straight through that particular week...and maybe in ensuing weeks...
That Scheduler got sooo mad at me!!
After a snotty email from Scheduler, I got deactivated; after doing shops that I got a "10" on for weeks.
That kind of thing really leaves a sour taste in a shopper's mouth. I decided to stop shopping at that point and didn't pick it up again for several years.
Now that I've picked it up again, I see that same Scheduler on some of the boards and I will not pick up shops Scheduled/offered by that person.
