The book also had a diagram of his ship inside the covers. The book was a paperback, pocket-sized, and had cover-art depicting the captain sitting in the cockpit of his ship, seen from the outside. He actually finds a woman and his ship is sent off to Andromeda, by the same entity that gave him the message in the first place. On one of these hauls, he receives a mysterious transmission/message, that instructs him to find a woman and at a given time the two of them and their ship will be sent to Andromeda to start human civilization again, away from their current decay. There are several planets with mining facilities and colonies, and our intrepid captain tenders to these, in a private business, carrying plutonium and similar stuff. The setting is one of a slightly decaying society, with the usual problems, trash, pollution etc. The story is about a lone spaceship captain flying interplanetary cargo hauls in our solarsystem. Primary audience as I recall is the more mature sci-fi crowd. I read this many years ago, possibly 30 years or so.
