What ships do I need to be a Runner?

Any hauling ship works — from a basic T1 industrial to a jump freighter. The ship you need depends on the contract's volume and location. Many Runners start with a Nereus or Epithal and upgrade as they earn.

How is Runner profit calculated?

Your earnings include a share of the expected profit on the items, plus hauling costs. Each contract page shows your estimated payout upfront before you accept.

Can I subcontract deliveries to hauling services?

Absolutely. Many Runners use Red Frog, PushX, or other courier services. Just make sure the hauling fee is less than your profit margin.

Is my ISK safe when running contracts?

Yes. All transactions happen through EVE Online's built-in contract system. You see exactly what you're getting before you accept, and the trade is instant and irreversible once confirmed.

What Is a Runner?

A Runner accepts matched contracts through JitaRun. Every contract shows the upfront price, route context, and expected payout so you can decide whether the trip and capital commitment are worth it.

To accept contracts, the character you use must be in the JitaRun.com corporation and linked to your JitaRun account. After acceptance, you can move the items with any hauling character you like and return them to an assigned JitaRun hangar for verification.

Runners are the execution layer of JitaRun's marketplace. You turn matched contracts into verified deliveries, and the platform converts those deliveries into withdrawal payouts automatically.

What the Runner Flow Looks Like

Accept the Contract

Open a matched contract from the dashboard and accept it in EVE with your linked JitaRun corp character.

Move the Cargo

Haul the items yourself or subcontract the transport leg to a service like Red Frog or PushX.

Drop Off for Payout

Return the items to a monitored JitaRun hangar so the platform can verify the delivery and create your payout.

Getting Started

1. Log In and Link Your Runner Character

Authenticate with your EVE Online account and connect the runner character you will use to open and accept contracts.

2. Browse Matched Contracts

View available contracts with their price, expected payout, route context, volume, and time remaining.

3. Accept a Contract in EVE

Open the contract from the dashboard and accept it with your linked JitaRun corp character. You front the ISK up front and take possession of the items.

4. Return the Items to JitaRun

Once the contract finishes, the Deliveries tab tracks the pending reward. Request a monitored hangar, move the items there, and confirm the dropoff.

5. Let JitaRun Create the Payout

JitaRun verifies the dropoff after the next eligible asset scan, credits the delivery payout, and creates or updates your withdrawal request automatically.

Tips for New Runners

Start with Highsec

Begin with contracts in highsec space where hauling is safest. Once you're comfortable with the dropoff flow, expand to lower-security routes for better returns.

Check the Volume

Always check the total volume of a contract before accepting. Make sure it fits your hauling plan and that you can still complete the dropoff before the delivery expires.

Use the Profit Calculator

Every contract shows the expected payout math up front. Use that to prioritize routes that justify the capital tie-up and hauling effort.

Consider Subcontracting

If a contract is profitable but too far to haul yourself, subcontracting the transport leg can still leave you with a healthy net payout.
