This will get you started, read it then ask more questions.

Also this if you are talking about hauling missions: http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Making_Money_with_Hauling_-_Level_4_Cargo_Missions

Also, take a small note there are 2 types of hauling:

* Distribution missions
* Hauling player stuff from A to B (through contract or for market purposes)



For the 2nd, just look up Push Industries and Red Frog (specially, the "recruitment page" of Red Frog is quite nice IMO for any future freighter pilots (which skills are good to have etc.)

Join the "Haulers Channel" and ask away. Also feel free to convo me and ask me anything you'd like since I'm a hauler as well (Freighter, Jump Freighter, DST, Blockade runner)

The biggest hurdle getting into Haulng are skillpoints because you want to haul in something with a big enough cargohold without being paper thin and also the collateral which a plex should take care of.

The https://eve-central.com/tradetool/ is a good way to find profitable trade routes.

The main hubs in the game are:
Jita
Dodixie
Amarr
Hek
Rens

Doing a search between each of these can often find enough trades to fill a hauler. But play around with it. Sometimes it's better to go for smaller 'high ticket' items in a small fast ship.

And don't sink all your capital into 1 or 2 items as you can end up back at square one.

And, ignore the 'too good to be true' contract deals advertised in local it those hubs. They are, without exception scams.

Just be aware that hauling pays *terribly* and is quite risky.

I personally recommend training the skill Contracting, and getting others to do your hauling for you.
