My everyday account is with a bank that doesn't have a heap of branches thus I did use my second account with a more national bank whenever I couldn't get to my bank's actual branch. If you travel a lot outside of your own state (or city) for work purposes, it is best if you go with a more national bank that has many branches. Or at least a bank that accepts payments via easier methods. Here in Australia, Australia Post which is the main postal service that has post office branches all over everywhere incl. the smallest of towns can accept bank deposits for certain banks.

Not saying it would have to be your primary bank, but an account with BofA or someone similar would make life easier, and the ATM / wire transfer fee savings alone make it worth doing. I travel for work and keep an account that has branches in all the cities I frequent for this very reason. Only keep cash in it when I hit the road, and with online banking I can transfer money around if I need to in a pinch.

Wiring it is a pain. If you're traveling somewhere without a branch of your bank, just buy money orders and do a deposit by mail (ask your bank for their info).
