Getting the rotors turned fixes the problem for 500 miles or less...they warp right back...I don't know why that happens, but you should get new rotors

I'd get new rotors and calipers, you probably have sticky calipers, causing more heat buildup, thus causing the warping.
calipers are cheap, well worth the investment.

Should I even ask if you "ride" the brake?

Turning the rotors is a short fix as stated above...less material = less heat dissapation. More heat = more warp. Do you drive through puddles or a car wash right after coming off the highway? The temp change can sometimes warp the rotors. It is weird though.
