My understanding is that "long haul" doesn't really refer to how many miles you drive in a week, but rather the number of miles you haul a "load" before dropping it or unloading it.
Many companies pay different mileage rates based on short haul, medium haul, and long haul, paying a higher rate for the shorter hauls to help average out the drivers' pay.
In these cases, I believe I usually see LONG haul starting at around 900 miles for the run.
But, I wouldn't argue with say... 700+ miles, or anything not ONE, but TWO "regions" away.
