Eventually you will find a second trader, just pick POIs in that traders direction and vice versa so that you ping pong between the traders
PC Trader missions distance reduction please

Now that each trader is supposed to eventually send you off to a new trader, I think it makes even more sense to have a trader give you local jobs to do. Maybe not every one, but I'd say the bulk of them could be justifiably local for the trader's self-interest of security.
I agree that the lower tier quests should give things relatively close, while the higher ones send you farther away (and presumably, send you into more dangerous areas). Personally, when i hit the trader, I take the quests that are closest to me first. I almost never take a quest that's 1km or farther away, until i have reliable transportation. It just takes too long to hoof it 1.8 miles and back, especially since I try to complete them in the same day they're given. Granted, that's a personal preference/limitation, but it at least makes sense to me.
To piggyback on Roland's point about people just taking all short distance quests, the most immediate fix would be limiting people on the number of quests they can take per day, at least initially. Putting perks into Daring Adventurer, for a hypothetical example, could give the player additional quests they could complete per day, or see the rewards you can get before setting out. This gives you some incentive to choose a quest that would yield more useful loot, and add additional functionality to perks (or perks that could be added later on). If a player had a choice of 1 quest to undertake, it would make which one they pick all the more meaningful.

Swath77 your idea would work if the game had many more POIs of higher level further away but in the way that's designed you have a mix of POIs throughout the whole map. So you could not push someone for their way for higher levels. this would only result in repeating the same POIs further out. Now to play off of what you said, if traders never repeated the POIs in their range be it five six or seven kilometers then there would be a large amount of POIs which they can select from picking the closest one first then picking further ones away after using the close ones first. This would then allow you to complete quests quickly but the more you do the further you will have to go out because the system will not allow you to do the same POI over and over until you have completed all the other POIs of that tier within range of the trader.
