Question Question about Reefers vs. Dry Vans and OTR vs. Regional

Sorry for the ignorance, but...

As a new student developing a list of potential employers I want to find companies that operate nationally and do a significant share of their business hauling long distances, like coast-to-coast. I'm not very interested in driving only in 10-12 states or seeing the same docks over and over.

However, I also (think) that I want a company that has a primarily reefer fleet because, by most accounts, the available miles are better.

Are these two goals incompatible? Are reefers frequently used for criss-crossing the nation or are they primarily used for regional or short-range jobs?

Can anyone recommend a company that tends to match that profile?

Thanks!

Dedicated are PREFERRED by many of US especially if the mileage is at least 1,000 one way.
