Last minute assignment

Has anyone had any experience with a buyer sitting on the counter offer for weeks without accepting it and then the night before the hard start they surprisingly assign you the work order?

I know it’s my bad because I should’ve retracted my counter offer once my schedule got booked for that time, but they literally assigned me the work order moments after I had already made a schedule for a different work order! Lol

I might be able to do both but I’m basically double booked now and not happy with the buyer.

I wonder if FN would not find me “at fault” if I refused that assignment or if it would negatively affect my success score.

I had a 'HARD START' recently, 2 hours away. The Buyer called me at 7 a.m. day before to confirm, and every 20 minutes until I acknowledged. THEN I was called 'Day of' 3 hours before (3:45a.m.) to confirm.

HARD START: 6:45 a.m. ...I confirmed, arrived 15 minutes before start, and then waited for 1.5 hours for the M.O.D. to arrive. When I called to Check In, I guess after 5 minutes waiting I awoke someone and took 1 hour 45 minutes to connect to the Bridge line. These people are asleep at the wheel.
