Anyone know haw long will it take to get 6.67 with a npc corp by doing hauling missions?

Exact amount you will need to do amount of missions to get to that standing.
You have not said:
1. What standing you already have.
2. Is your social skills already trained?
3. How good of a hauler you are?
4. Will you do those missions actively, or afk auto-pilot?
5. Do you have a good agents selection?

Any way, 6.67 is a lot. Most of it would come from stroyline missions, but I guess you won't do combat missions, otherwise you could get that standing from normal security missions...
So just crude prediction - around 1000-1500 missions. Maybe even more.

Courier missions seem to be giving me about 1/3 the standings of the same level security mission. The estimate of about 1000 missions is optimistic, so be prepared for a long, long grind.

Training up Social skill and Connections skill will help decrease the amount of time spent grinding missions to reach your goal

Look for Event agents with the corp/faction you are trying to boost and run them. These are mostly, if not exclusively, courier missions. They will also have better returns. +1 for the social skill advice, taking a day for lvl 3 will speed up the process greatly.

May your hold bulge and your gates be clear.

LV3 Hauling missions give less standing that a LV1 Security mission, that' how bad they are.

Another option is to ask a level 4 Security mission runner for your chosen NPC Corporation to split their standings with you.

You fleet up with them, they do the mission (you can be elsewhere doing anything else) and every time they hand in a mission, they split the standings increase and agent isk rewards with you. Offering something for this service would be appropriate.

Oh, and if they are working on a Storyline mission, that standings boost is not split. They get it all.

EDIT : Remember that every 16 distributions missions you do for an agent, you will be offered a Storyline. They will be chosen from "bring me some minerals", "take this over there" or "go kill those ships". The first two are usually trivial and will offer a reasonable Corp standings boost. The latter will be as tough as a typical Security mission of that level and may also involve opposing racial factions so you may want to decline those but the advantage is that the combat ones can give as much as a +45% boost to the Corp they were for. Don't be afraid to ask for help with them if you are not a combat pilot.
