Creating a custom shipping method to calculate shipping charges based on the distance between the warehouse and the customer’s delivery location can be done using Magento 2 Distance Based shipping module.

Flat rate shipping method is provided by the default Magento 2. However, it is not reliable for every business. For the customers’ perspective, this method is unfair because the customer who live within 1 km area and the customer who live within 10 km area, both have to pay the same amount for shipping.
