"meer charteren bij een groter aanbod in transport"
Response to a survey (question was "Hoe denkt u dat uw activiteit zich zal ontwikkelen?"). Not sure if the last part means there will be more hauliers around or that greater volumes will be transported.

charter
What I think the sentence means is that if demand increases (i.e. more goods are offered for transport), this should be taken up by means of chartering vehicles from other companies rather than investing in new lorries and taking on drivers.

lease
I would say "lease" is more appropriate than "charter". I assume that charter is more relevant to the airline industry.
