If I did OTR I wouldn't really need much home time but one thing that I would like would be to be able to sometimes visit some family that lives far away in SoCal, Georgia, and Florida.
How common is it for a national carrier to assign you to areas you'd like to go to?
Do national carriers give you a choice of areas?

That's why I said national carrier. I wouldn't expect to go somewhere that the carrier didn't service.

When I was hired by Knight, I met my DM and was asked where I want to run, I said Western 11 and that was that. Schneider also asked me and I told them Western 11 as well. Not sure how it would work out if you are new to the driving game. Even when I have told them "All 48 states", I drop the "no Upper North East".
Getting to SoCal should not be a problem for any big mega carrier and a lot of them have drop yards or operations centers in Fontana, Ontario, Otay Mesa or San Bernardino.GrandmaRosa Thanks this. -

Did the OP mean “national carriers” as an adjective or proper name?D.Tibbitt and Dave_in_AZ Thank this. -
Many carriers specialize in east coast or west coast. Some go everywhere in between
