Obviously, since we want to fly the Amarr Bestower most quickly, you will create an Amarr character. This is the only option that makes any difference from a gameplay perspective, as it affects your starting racial skills (namely, your racial Frigate skill).

=== Create an Minmatar Character ===

Although Bestower is a great hauler with a short training plan, its cargo capacity falls far short of fitting a full jetcan of ore. Meaning that it requires additional trips, therefore wasting time when you could do other things. This is where the Mammoth comes in, with just rigs and Expanded Cargohold IIs, it has around 27,000m3 cargo capacity. Although it is a few hundred m3 fall short of a few jetcan, you can easily exceed that with GSCs.

Similar to creating a Bestower pilot, it is recommended to to create a Minmatar character as it will have Minmatar Frigate II already trained and saves us some time. Yet again the bloodline and ancestry will have minimal impact on the training time, especially if you choose to do a neural remap.

For courier missions, you might want to have faster align and warp speed, so you might want to fit Nanofiber Internal Structures and Inertia Stabilizers in low slots and Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer in rigs.

If you wish, you can train skills to equip shield mods such as Shield Extenders and ~~Invulnerbility~~ Fields in the mid slots.

If you wish, you can train skills to equip shield mods such as Shield Extenders and Invulnerability Fields in the mid slots to tank belt rats for a short time.

=== Optimize with Giant Secure Containers ===

There are items called ''Giant Secure Containers'' (~~called a ''~~GSC'') which take up 3,000 m3 in your cargo hold. The interesting thing is that you can actually put 3,900 ~~m^3~~ of stuff in a GSC - which means you get a 30% space bonus.

With rigs and cargo expanders, that brings a Bestower total close to 25,400 m3 and Mammoth to 35,100 m3.

With rigs and cargo expanders, that brings a Bestower total close to 25,400 m3 and Mammoth up to 35,100 m3.

'''Note''': To use these, you do ''not'' need to train the skill ''Anchoring'', unless you plan to place ("anchor") them in space. This skill has no prerequisites but is a 3x skill, so it will probably take about half an hour to train if you do plan to anchor your GSCs. However not having them anchored (in space) will enable other people to flip the can and even scoop the entire GSC to their cargo hold.

Note : Giant Secure Cans are great but with a minor limitation, they cannot store some goods like frozen food, livestock. So keep this in mind if ~~youre~~ using these containers to haul goods.

== Other Racial Haulers ==

The Bestower is the fastest return for the most space. However, other races (well, except the Caldari like me) have decent hauling capability depending on the training investment. The Mammoth is often considered the best hauler for a week of training, giving almost half again the Bestower's space (with Expanded Cargohold IIs).

The Mammoth is often considered the best hauler for a week of training, giving almost half again the Bestower's space (with Expanded Cargohold IIs). The Iteron Mark V has the large cargo capacity of all Industrials.

All stats include a maximum number of these Expanded Cargohold IIs.

For the investment of a month training, an Iteron Mark V pilot will haul over 25,000 m3. Here's how to do that.

If you fully rig the Iteron V with T1 medium cargo rigs, then it will hold 38,500 m3 and have plenty of mid slots to fit some tank modules.

=== Badger Pilot (Caldari) ===

Finally, if you desire to fly a ~~Caldari~~ Badger Mark II, capable of hauling just over 12,500 m3, here's how you can do this. This is most useful for Caldari pilots who already have the Frigate and Hull Upgrade skills and want to be flying in under a day.
