Texas was the only routes we had at CASW that did checks and they would be floor to ceiling. Pain the arse. Everything else was either LSO freight (no more than 400lbs usually). But up north was medical usually. When I did that same route it was pee and blood. At 2am you were always tired, so that would've been the worst time to have an emer. I refused several flights at Central and always caught grief, from the professional chair pilot at dispatch. Who is no longer there I'm told, but with tight margins and high competition you were expected to fly unless that sky was falling. Even with that all being said, Central wasn't all too doom and gloom, depending on which route you had. I do feel sorry for the Towners, great people and a great family. My prayers and condolences to all those involved.
