Base cargo for an Iteron 5 is 6000m3 vs 750,000m3 for a freighter. Even with fully loaded cargo upgrades I'd be lucky to hit 15,000m3 on the Iteron, which is still too low and means the hauler is constantly hauling.
First off the base cargo when you can fly an Iteron 5 is 7500 m3 (25% bonus for Gallente Industrial 5). Fully T2 Expanded without Rigs an Iteron V holds 25270m3. If you rig it then it goes all the way up to 38433m3.

Now with my Hulk pilot using two mining Laser Upgrades I can mine 1166m3 of ore every minute (His skills are not perfect and this is with t1 strips). It will take him ~33 minutes to fill up a fully rigged/expanded iteron V. So even boxing 4 Hulks you only have to haul ore every 8 minutes, which isn't horrible.
Good point on the skill bonuses. I always forget those. Well it looks like the rigged Iteron is better than I thought, but still smaller than a freighter I'll have to do with 8 minute round trips, which aren't too bad after all.
