Only small deliveries of 1000..2000 every time

Hi,
I have LTN all setup and running just fine. I noticed though now one thing:
My main storage area as a requester (hooked up to the LN with your Logistic Network to LTN stop filter and is requesting
-100k for each steel, plastics, iron and copper plates. This Requester Threshold is intentionally set to a Request Threshold of 40k.
As soon Copper/Iron/Plastics drops below 100k a L-4C-L (via min/max trainlength) is sent off to pick up, let's say 1009 plastics. 1009? And there is actually 99k in storage, with a Request Threshold of 40k (that's why I set it so high, as I wanted only full train loads).
Also, the Request Station have a Provide Threshold of 1000000 and the Provide Station a Provide Threshold of 5k (or 4k, I believe). Locked slots is set on the Provider to 2.
Also, I am not mixing resources. And the Plastic/Copper Providers have plenty of resources. The signals on the pole at the Requester show a resource demand of -1200 for example.
I used the LTN Blueprints, but as I was upgrading my stations, I needed to remove the chests from the blueprint and removed the existing inserters from my map. I rewired it all - and it's basically working.
I love the idea that it's only going off when resources drop below a certain point, but I dislike the idea of carrying only about 1000 items.
But what am I missing? It looks like my Request Threshold is ignored or do I understand it wrong?
What am I getting
