It's package delivery. If there's actually reason to move cargoes, and the number of people doing it is large enough that they don't all want to do vertical integration and have their own vessels, there's room for a business.

Now, it's a boring business that isn't terribly gameable (realistic spaceship crews have essentially zero ability to make decisions about their path), but that's a separate problem.
