ACMI flying and max time at home don't belong in the same sentence. Much of ACMI is based on that you will be on the road 16 - 17 days straight. Some lines are broken up. If you lived in CVG, I might say go for it and bid reserve, but even that is a crap shoot.

I guess you've noticed that Amazon has been running a mini-hub operation out of KLAL, and might be hoping for LAL layovers, or trip sequences beginning and ending there. Idk if that's the case with either operator flying in and out of there. Be aware that Amazon, DHL, etal don't mind playing musical chairs with different operators, aircraft, and schedules. Sweet deals have the duration of a bowl of ice cream on a hot summer day in ACMI business.

It would seem to me that a LCC with FL domicile (Jet Blue, F9, NK that have those) would be a better fit with flexibility to add/drop trips, and work much less than 16 - 17 days. I'm guessing you're fed up with passengers, and want payloads that don't complain. Either choice has compromises.
