Asset protection - keeping your hauling ships and cargo alive - is the most important cornerstone of being a successful hauler. Due to our extremely wide range of services, ships, and collaterals, Pushers are expected to be experts in all areas of hauler asset protection. If there is any area you are uncertain about, take the time to consult with a more experienced Pusher.

:Your “Gank Profile” refers to how appealing and susceptible your hauler is to gankers as a potential gank target.
== General Knowledge ==
=== Ship Classes ===
:Factors that affect your gank profile include the EHP of your ship, double wraps and assembled containers, the value of your freight, ability to be scam-ganked via duels, etc.
In order to provide a wide range of services, PushX uses a range of hauling ships. Understanding the strengths, weaknesses, and limitations of each ship class is essential.


:You should be aware of your gank profile while hauling.

=== Gank Profile ===
:One method that ganking groups use to help ascertain your gank profile is scanning your ship and cargo before you reach a ganking hotspot.


:Blackbirds, Herons, Maulus, and Sunesis are ships commonly used for this purpose. You will see them sitting on gates, scanning passing haulers.
Your “Gank Profile” refers to how appealing and susceptible your hauler is to gankers as a potential gank target.

You should be aware of your gank profile while hauling.


== Practices to Reduce Your Gank Profile ==
=== Ship and Cargo Scanners ===
#A hauler’s total cargo value should never exceed the PushX collateral limit for that ship class. Excessive freight value raises your gank profile.
One method that ganking groups use to help ascertain your gank profile is scanning your ship and cargo before you reach a ganking hotspot.
#A freighter should never carry double-wrapped couriers or a courier package containing an assembled container. These prevent cargo scanning and therefore raise your gank profile.
Blackbirds, Herons, Maulus, and Sunesis are ships commonly used for this purpose. You will see them sitting on gates, scanning passing haulers.
#Hauler pilots should ensure that all Duel Invitations are Blocked. If you need to duel to web, send the duel invitation from your hauler.
 
#Be aware that conversation invitations can be an attempt to distract you. If you intend to engage in conversation, ensure the immediate safety of your ship.
== '''Universal Best Practices''' ==
#Haulers should ideally be in a fleet of their own (with your own alts).
The following Best Practices apply to all freight classes and ships.
 
=== Scout and Use Intel ===
Appropriate scouting and use of intel is the most essential asset protection technique. Always scout gank systems or hot systems before attempting to haul through them. Take advantage of public intel as well as PushX's internal intel sources to ensure you always scout as needed and to remain on top of the current ganking meta.
 
Some Public Intel Resources:
*Gank-Intel Channel
*Twitch Gate-cam streams
*Dotlan or in-game kill activity
 
=== Stay Within Value Limits ===
A hauler’s total cargo value should never exceed the PushX collateral limit for that ship class. Excessive freight value raises your gank profile.
 
=== Disable Duel Invitations ===
Hauler alts should ensure that all Duel Invitations are Blocked. If you need to duel to web, send the duel invitation from your hauler to your webber.
 
=== Be Aware of Distractions ===
Be aware that conversation invitations or mails can be an attempt to distract you. If you intend to engage with a player via your hauler, ensure the immediate safety of your ship. Many Pushers will not engage in social interactions on their hauling alts.
 
=== Be in a Fleet With Yourself ===
Haulers in a fleet cannot be invited to another fleet. Gankers may send fleet invites to distract you, or to obtain a warp in for ganking ships. Do not haul while in a fleet with people you do not trust.
