The article discusses the role of road transport and forwarding in managing transport processes, highlighting their importance in the global supply system. The author analyses the theoretical and practical aspects related to road transport, with a special focus on the role of forwarding, whose task is to ensure the correct course of logistic processes. The aim of the article is to show the influence of forwarding activities on the efficiency of transport management. The first part of the paper presents the theoretical basis of road transport, including the functions of transport, its classification, legal regulations and the tools used. Attention is also drawn to the importance of effective transport management as a foundation for the efficient functioning of the economy. The role of forwarding is presented, emphasising its intrinsic link with transport management processes and its responsibility for organising the flow of goods. The following part of the article presents examples from forwarding practice, based on the experience of the company WEN Spółka Cywilna, WOZ-TRANS Logistics and AMIZ Transport. The analysis of this company's activities includes organisational aspects, research methods and characteristics of the transport market, including the specifics of the sector of vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes. The article also presents an analysis of the competition the company faces. The article concludes with suggestions for improvements that can enhance the efficiency of the forwarding activities of the studied company. The conclusions presented provide valuable information for practitioners and those interested in optimising logistics processes in the transport industry.
