Hauling large amounts of goods won't be a problem as you can use your main for that.
I mean if I once learn the PI skills on my alt characters on my 3 accounts (3 characters), is it possible to earn considerable amount of ISK "for free" by this way? It of course requires a lot of management, but in the end you don't have to check your planets every day. I'd use the ISK to cover all the running costs on my mains, so I don't have to buy PLEX with IRL money and sell it for ISK in addition to three subscriptions. I guess this wouldn't be a long time goal, just as long as I'm able to run lvl 4's by myself, which would take several months to learn everything to lvl 5.
Probably just making an industrial alt would be wiser, but I'm afraid there aren't any manufacturing or research slots open at stations in High Sec. Also doing the traditional industry feels more complex and more risky (than PI).
