The T1 Gallente industrials are the ones with the most specialized cargo holds. Training Gallente Industrial skill would be very useful if you have to haul anything, and as you can see from the chart below you don't need to train it very high to be quite useful; the chart shows cargo space based on skill level. In addition, these are T1 industrial ships, and are very inexpensive.

An additional advantage of these specialized haulers is that their specialized cargo bay is independent from the main cargo bay, so you are free to fit warp stabs, nanos, tanking rigs, or whatever. So throw some warp stabs on your miasmos and your epithal for safer hauling!

Did you know? The Miasmos, a T1 industrial ship that costs 1 million isk, can haul up to 63000 m3 in ore or gas? A huffers best friend!

This table shows Epithal PI cargo hold by Gallente Industrial skill level:

This should have an 8 second align and over 14k ehp with 3 stabs. Temporarily swap out some lows for cargo expanders to fit a command center in your cargo to deploy or use a basic T1 hauler like a nereus.

Each race has a specialized industrial called a blockade runner. It requires you to train Industrial level V in that race among other skills, but is one of the most useful hauling ships in the game due to its ability to fit a covert ops cloak, fast aligning, and decent cargo bay at around 10000 m3 give or take depending on your fitting.

Blockade runners also have an extra highslot (the first is for your covert ops cloak ofc) so you can fit a probe launcher there. Handy eh?

A “max cargo fit” is typically Medium Cargohold Optimization I in the rig slots and Expanded Cargohold Optimization II in the lowslots to maximize cargo. It's not very common to use T2 cargo rigs so we'll use T1 as the baseline for discussion.

₁ Note that replacing a single cargo expander with a nano will probably get you to a 5 second align time instead of 6, if you think that's important. Fitting a blockade runner typically involves how risky the route is vs how much cargo you need to haul. Replace cargo expanders with nanos until your cargo just fits, and carry your extra nanos/cargo expanders with you so you can refit in stations etc.

These are the highly tankable industrials for moving larger cargo. They have 2 built-in warp stabs and a specialized fleet hangar that holds a base of 50000 m3 plus 5% per level of your Transport Ships skill. That's 60000 m3 at Transports IV, 62500 m3 at Transports V. Transport Ships skill gives a 5% bonus to fleet hangar capacity and 4% bonus to armor/shield resistances (armor ships get armor resist bonus, shield get shield resists ofc).

Because the majority of their cargo space is in their fleet hangar, DSTs don't have to use cargo optimization rigs and cargo expanders in their lowslots, so they can fit more flexibly for tank and/or align time. They have a very slow base align time, between 17 and 18 seconds unfit (assuming all Vs for align time calcs).

Another benefit of the fleet hangar is that you can allow fleet members to access it. This does not provide refitting services for fleet members like a carrier, but it's handy for letting them grab stuff you may be carrying.

There are two types of capital haulers: Freighters and their T2 counterpart Jump Freighters. Freighters are rarely used in Nullsec unless moving within the same system as it is highly dangerous without CONCORD assistance. Jump Freighters are more common for hauling large amounts of items from a Trade Hub to our Deployment. Check out these pages for more information on how to haul in Capital Haulers.
