Poland, the second largest European flag carrier and leader in international transport, accounts for more than 28% of international road transport activity in Europe. Its flag carrier benefits from a strategic geographical position. It can also count on the vitality of the country's economy and the support of the Polish authorities on the European stage. Despite good national economic indicators, social demands and employment tensions are impacting the Polish road transport sector. The sector is suffering from a shortage of drivers, which is hampering the development of transport companies. In response, these companies are reorganising themselves: offering certain bonuses, more frequent returns to base, and reducing the length of routes and mileage per driver. To remain competitive, companies are adapting by reducing other costs: better negotiation of leasing contracts and optimisation of semi-trailer use, for example. The fall in diesel prices is another factor encouraging them to seek savings. These efforts are bearing fruit, with Poland confirming its supremacy in 2016, with +18% growth in international road haulage. 

The 2017 study on Polish road haulage provides comprehensive details on Europe's leading international road haulage company. The study also includes a summary containing comparisons with France.
