    You get a discount from the govt if you use a transgender reefer

    If your running under your own authority your going to be dealing with brokers and what the loads are worth. If you lease to another company your going to get whatever percentage they pay. I think @ChaoSS nailed it.

    What kind of market is there for a refrigerated straight truck? Probably short haul or local if anything.

    Maybe narrow it down a bit. We need more info. You sound very inexperienced to be honest

    Can probably lease on to Schneider; they have a huge box truck fleet.

    Google: "expedite trucking companies" - those companies deal with straight/box trucks.
