Aye, that ain't all good.
But, IMO, it can be done.
Depending on what ships you fly, I would like to suggest, as others have, a MWD setup. :)
Just in case it has any value at all, I'll post in my cargo runner setups:
Tristan (IMO, preferrable for its combination of CPU/Powercore, 3 medslots, and a fair top speed to boot)
Highslots: Empty.
Medslots: 2 1mn MWD's, and 1 cap battery.
Reason for a cap battery, and not a cap recharger is that the Tristan already has a fairly good cap recharge, so the extra cap merely means it will have more to recharge on. :)
Lowslots: Nanofibers - mainly for the inertia bonus. Faster acceleration/deceleration. Also, Nanofibers don't penalize your cargo capacity, like Overdrives do.
It holds 140 cargo base, if I recall correctly, and can, with cargo expanders on (even with all expanders in the lowslots, the Tristan still pushes ~6K top speed), hold a fair bit of goods.

Thorax:
Highslots: Empty
Medslots: 1 10 mn MWD, 1 100 mn AB. (2 MWD's seem to deplete the cap too much for long warps, sadly), 1 med sized cap battery.
Lowslots: Same as with Tristan.
Just my ideas, they work fine with me...THe Thorax is set up to take 408 cargo, and is almost exclusively used for implant missions (take 400 transaction logs from B to A). The Tristan handles most everything else.
Of course, if we're talking about the Planning Invasion mission (520 cargo needed, if lvl 3 version) or that mission that takes you around with unassembled energy weapons), then 16 jumps in 25 mins isn't all too much fun. I guess it can be done, possibly in either an Iteron MK high, or a Badger 2, but I've only tried doing those missions in a bestower. And it sucked. (Might just be me, though ;))
Best of luck with the missions...
BTW; the Tristan takes, without insta-jump bookmarks (which I am too dumb/lazy to make), a little less than a minute per system, including coming into a system, warping, and MWD'ing into the gate.
