| Even if you think you have access to a citadel/station that you haven't docked at before (or in an extended period of time), always check by attempting to dock using a cheap, expendable, ship first from a character in the same corp as your JF pilot. The citadel/station may not be configured correctly, and may not include all PACs. (Can you search for the citadel on your JF alt - check if you have access?) **Always confirm this docking ability ahead of time**, even if it is a blue citadel.

| The first thing you need to do when Jump Freighting is plan your route. You will want to keep your route TO trade hubs reasonably private. This will reduce the chance of spies intercepting or interfering with you on your route. When using citadels, your route into nullsec doesn't need to be quite as opsec. You're most vulnerable when moving from lowsec to the trade hubs. | The first thing you need to do when Jump Freighting is plan your route.
