But I do like your optimism and hope the best for you in your hauling adventure!

I guess I'm just slightly mad but I like your faith in me! Hundreds of jumps a day... lol
Seriousy though, I see it as a side venture. A couple of runs every few nights and I may net an extra 30-40mil per week. It's not enormous amounts but it makes a change from ratting.
If I actually get successful enough that I do have to do hundreds of jumps a day I would look into establishing a corp to take up some of the load. |

As a lifelong pirate I can appreciate someone trying to alleviate the massive pain of moving ships into low sec. Without an alt it can be a downright crippling problem for fledgling PVPers. |

Hand it to the guy trying to be Han Solo in a game full of Vaders, Jabbas, Palpatines, and Princess Leias. |

Thanks for all the encouraging replies.
I've had quite a few expressions of interest although am still awaiting my first solid contract. Of course, these things can take time initially to gain momentum.
I was thinking of also doing a tour of low sec areas to discretely talk with potential customers directly.
Does anyone have any other ideas for spreading the word? The fledgling PvPers referred to above are obvious potentials but unless they read this forum they are unlikely to know about it.
How about joining the in game c&p channel? Would that be advisable or would I be seen as an annoyance? |

That's a rather flattering comparison...I like it Of course, Han Solo isn't quite as handsome as I am...
But no Luke?! Does anyone anywhere actually want to be Luke Skywalker?
Also, Solo (Ford) was about the only actor to make any decent money out of those films, showing his business accumen even then. |

Sadly, a lot of the pirate gangs I knew of have bugged out and either joined TEST or ran off into WH space.
The solo pirates I know are not the chatty types I have a lover, her name is EVE. I see her every night and all she asks in return is that I have a pilot's license. |

I guess I'll have to be really charming then.
Smaller pirate corps are my target consumer but it may take some exploring and networking to build up contacts.
I'm in no rush though. I am financing this myself and so have the luxury of time. Plus it will give me an excuse to tour around the map meeting new people. The tricky part will be avoiding getting killed by the very people I'm trying to meet. |

When I was first starting out as an explorer I noticed most pirates were actually quite pleasant. That's why I frequent C&P more than the other threads on the forums :D I'm sure you'll find great contacts. I have a lover, her name is EVE. I see her every night and all she asks in return is that I have a pilot's license. |

I would happily offer OP my business, but I have an alt that does hauling for me among other things. He's trained for a freighter, but I don't need battleships brought to low sec often enough to justify dropping over a bil on a freighter
I imagine there's a substantial number of pirates in a similar spot, so it might be worth it in the long run for you to train up each racial BS skill up to 3. That way you can actually fly people's battleships (as opposed to hauling them in cargo) to low sec for them. The price on skillbooks is a way nicer figure than getting a freighter. |

Not much luck so far. I'm struggling to find people.
If I can just get a bit of rep going with one decent sized corp I'm convinced word of mouth would spread.
Shame I can't paint an advert down the side of my Viator (although in low sec no-one would see it!) |
