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 buyback contracts through JitaRun. Your earnings come from a share of the expected profit on the items, plus hauling costs are factored in. Every contract shows your expected payout upfront so you can decide if it's worth the trip.

To accept and complete contracts, the character you use must be in the JitaRun.com corporation — but you can move the items with any character you like. Haul them to Jita and sell them yourself, subcontract a hauling service, or simply keep the items if you need them.

Runners are the backbone of JitaRun's decentralized marketplace. You provide the logistics that make instant buybacks possible — and you get paid well for it.

Three Ways to Profit

Deliver to Jita

Haul the items to Jita yourself and sell on the market. Maximum profit, full control.

Subcontract a Hauler

Use services like Red Frog or PushX to move the items. Pay a fee, keep the remaining profit.

Keep the Items

Need the items for your own use? Buy them at a discount through the contract system.

Tips for New Runners

Start with Highsec

Begin with contracts in highsec space where hauling is safest. Once you're comfortable, expand to lowsec and nullsec for higher margins.

Check the Volume

Always check the total volume of a contract before accepting. Make sure it fits in your ship's cargo hold or plan for multiple trips.

Use the Profit Calculator

Every contract shows your expected profit after shipping costs. Use this to prioritize the most profitable runs.

Consider Subcontracting

If a contract is profitable but too far to haul yourself, subcontracting to a freight service can still net you a healthy margin.
