I’m not sure about buying or leasing if you’re talking about leasing from a company like Ryder or Penske I don’t think they will do that for a new start up but not sure about that.Companies like lone mountain I think you would be better off buying.A contract if you mean like from a company hauling there freight directly from them I think you will have a very hard time finding a company that will sign a contract with you as a new company.You can depending how good you are at sales find companies that will load you but I don’t believe there going to enter into an contract.They will load you the same as a broker would under a agreement if you meant an agreement like as a broker some will work with you some won’t until you’ve been operating for awhile usually 6 months to a year

If you are going to get a few trucks be sure to get all the same model trucks with same motor and trans. so when one breaks you can use parts from it to keep the other trucks running, and be able to keep repair parts and all oil and fuel filters in stock with out having a lot of diff. parts in stock?
