short haul
Quick distance covered
Short haul describes transportation over relatively brief distances, especially in aviation and trucking.
A short-haul flight connects nearby cities: I prefer short-haul trips that don't require overnight stays.
Short-haul trucking typically means routes completed within a single day.
The term contrasts with long haul, which covers greater distances and extended time.
