Example: ORD->IAH, stop for service call, IAH->DFW, stop for service call, DFW->IAH->ORD->HSV. Yes, this is pretty much a weekly occurrence for me.

You are likely being booked as a stop at each city you are doing a service call. Anything over 4 hours on a domestic trip is considered a stop and it would not be short-checking to check to the next stop.
