I've done many (short) interstate rides. There doesn't seem to be any issue with it.
Long trips, regardless of whether they cross state lines, are probably their own topic.
$200 for 4 hours of driving (R/T) should still be profitable for the driver. The obvious question is whether that's *more* profitable than 4 hours of local fares where he drives far fewer miles but also might have to sit and wait for a fare, travel to get fares, etc. I would think some drivers would happily take the $200 fare, even coming back empty.
