Location of yards and housing

Hey folks, i have read a few of the threads and posted on one and multiple people responded thanks again. I had one question as an aspiring truck driver and thinking of prime i found as great deal on a house in Alabama but the closest major yard to that house is 7 hours away in Savannah Georgia. Can you live that far away from the major yard? i was under the impression as a OTR truck driver you can live where ever you'd like. but thinking about it a bit more made me want to ask this question. Can anyone answer if its possible without dropping your truck off at the yard and having a 7 hour trip on your home time to do? will they route you close to your house and have you pick up a load around it etc? or is it out of the question and move on from the thought.

Regards
