I know about Push and I know about Red Frog but it would be nice to see some other options.

I've had a search around but many of the results that come back are from last year and are no longer active. Does anyone have a recommendation for other reliable hauling corps who deal in cargo of 20k to 30k m3 and roughly 250mil collateral and who offer a slightly cheaper service than Push?

I'll probably end up going with Push anyway for convenience but I figure it cant hurt to ask.

You can check sell orders for services.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

You can use Micro Push for loads 20K m3 and under.

Start the day off slow and taper off from there.

Yeah, I've seen that but they only go up to 50mil collatoral.

Check in the "Haulers Channel" chat channel in-game. Many independent haulers hang out there. It is especially useful if you need high sec hauling done, but there are some brave souls who will take more risk.

I don't see any serious motivation to haul stuff that require more than 50M collateral. You pay 5-10M and ask 250M collateral, that's more likely a trap and no independent hauler will accept such a contract. So Red Frog is still your best option.

The problem is that it's hard for the haulers to compete with the big boys who can afford much smaller margins to do their larger volumes.

It'll be high sec only, and yes, it's unlikely that any established hauler will take on a small contract like that for less than Push.

Perhaps I need to find a noob to exploit... I mean give an opportunity to.

EDIT: Actually a noob wouldn't be able to afford the collatoral. Damn, this is gonna take more thought.

Two options for you.
A) Fork out the big bucks and pay to have your stuff hauled.
B) Haul it yourself.

Look up Bob Nooblino in-game. He runs a small hauling outfit.

There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.
