Historically, the closest thing US has had to regularly scheduled domestic widebody service is probably PHL-SJU-PHL with nearly daily service using a spare A330. That route with a morning departure from PHL allows the plane to be back to PHL in case it's needed for a TATL flight.

This may well change in the future since US is getting more widebodies (A332) than adding announced TATL routes.
