That's not that unusual for a level 4 courier mission. Depends on how many jumps between sites. I had a 5 jump 55000m3 haul. That was a pain. Took 4 trips with my Iteron IV (bless those named expanders).
At least the reward is not that bad.

They are all like that, the worst ones are Shuttle transportation. Had to transport 8 of those 5 jumps last night. Have left 2 for when I get home tonight as I couldn't handle all the excitment.
Don't mind missions like the one you got Josh, as you can make that in 4 trips (maybe even 3), but the amount of wasted cargo space when transportng shuttles........grrrrr

Had to drop off 102k m3 at 4 stations; luckily it was a
roundtrip (last ended where I started from).
You have to love these missions....

again, dont whine for massive amount to haul. Level 4 are designed for team playing, 3 haulers do the job in 10 mins max. 
Even 2 with Iteron's V

They aren't designed for teamplay at all, they have just been made bigger.
Yes 3 haulers could have moved those shuttles, for which I would have got around 900k for doing if I remember right. Split that between 3 people and the reward is the equivalent of what I would have got for doing a far easier level 3 mission. The loyalty points are better but you can't share those between the rest of the haulers, so at the end of the day you are going to have to rotate who picks up the missions if you are a team which will slow you down on gaining LP.
If CCP wants to encourage teamplay, they should provide an agent system that supports it, not just multiply the amount of crap you need to haul around by 10
i.e. allow gangs to accept mission contracts and have the rewards split.
Sorry if I sounded like I was whining at the amounts to be hauled it was more the boredom of actually doing it. The courier missions could be made so much more exciting with just a little thought (and probably a huge rewrite to the game code  )

I've done 3 of these so far and that's a pretty good one. 1 I did was 80k m3 8 jumps each way and almost 16 Mil collatoral. Make BMs for the trip and you can get the bonus easy enough.
For the LPs and time investment, it's a no brainer to do these.

I had one for a total of about 250k m3 travelling about 4 jumps each way on average per trip. Naturally I declined.

These missions suck but reading the fine print pays off. Last one I did gave a time bonus of 40 million in antimatter reactors.

There's an easy way of doing courier shuttles missions but it depends on a few things...

Can't you just buy the shuttles at the destination station and pass them off as genuine.

There are never shuttles for sale in the destination station 
Originally by: drunkenmaster

That didn't work for me -the first few days at least-. Will try it again.... the multiple destination hauling mission works by not doing it "exactly" as told though
