look at the payout per mile for the jobs. You can get more shorter higher paying jobs done in the same time it would take to do a single lower paying job.

Every job pays the same base rate +base mileage .. As you gain XP, you get bonuses, and as you add more Skills, you get bonuses.

Long distance adds a bonus to the base+mileage, so you do make more by taking one 300 mile job over taking three 100 mile jobs.

Level ADR - you get a lot of money for hazardous materials. And as already said look at the money per mile.

Just to clarify this a little, the Game has a base rate for each job, and a base mileage rate for each job .. Different Freight does have different multipliers of that base rate, so the type of freight is also important .. Bulldozers for example, pay more per mile, than Frak Tanks ..
If you haul 1 frak tank 300 miles, it will pay more than 3 frak tanks 100 miles each, but one bulldozer going 100 miles MAY pay more than one frak tank going 300 miles.

A target that I don't really understand, but the simplistic approach is to sort the jobs list by price per distance descending and take a job from the first couple of pages that takes your fancy.

If the quoted statement is not strictly true and you care about XP too (per the title of the thread) then you may need to tweak the approach to take account of job modifiers that offer the most XP bonuses.
