Hey guys, i m new to the game, and i think i find courier / hauling jobs fun!. I have done a lot of research about this matter, and i think i kinda have an idea of the difference of a Quick / fast delivery as a courier, and the tanky hauling bestowler.
My question is. Are any of these jobs profitable in the current version of the game? Are there jobs for High / Mid hauling ? What about courier? wich one is more profitable??
I have read about this big corp that takes most of these jobs. So b4 i spend lots of time training for this, i want to have someone with more experience with me , tell me if i should get in this business!
Thanks in advance for any feedback |

I like to think of courier contractors as useful idiots.
They do the most risky part of any market work I do (the only part with a realistic chance of 100% loss), and they receive less than 5% of the profits I make.
And that's on the honest courier contracts I put up. Sometimes I post a scam one as well, where the contract looks quite safe to a naive person but has been engineered to have a realistic chance of being failed. (E.g. 'take this 270000 m^3 parcel from one highsec point to another, the closest route going through Niarja and Uedama; oh and by the way, unless you take precautions against being cargo scanned, anyone scanning you will see three PLEX and five deadspace mods. Collateral ten billion.)
That said, I frequently will pay 25-50m for moving things around within contiguous highsec, if it has to be done fast. But if I'm paying that amount, it's because I see an opportunity to make a half billion or so out of the goods I am having hauled. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=238931 - an idea for a new form of hybrid PVE/PVP content.

First of all, define how much time you really want to put into running around hauling other people's crap.
The more time you decide you have to spend watching TV or reading while in warp, then the bigger the ship you obviously have time for.
Either way, start small, with a covert frig for doing those small, pricey cargos on fast runs.
Be aware that some courier contracts are too good to be true. Experience will help you define that for yourself.
Have fun

Every courier contract is designed to be good for someone. Experience will help you determine who that someone is. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=238931 - an idea for a new form of hybrid PVE/PVP content. An enemy is just a friend that you stab in the front. |

Usually more than one someone. Almost always including the person making the contract. "the risk of having your day ruined by other people is the cornerstone with which EVE was built" -CCP Solomon

I enjoy being a space trucky, doesn't take long to learn the ropes and its pretty easy money but kinda boring unless you got some TV shows to watch or something similar on the side. |
