Competition in the integrated transport market in the European Union is extremely fierce. Therefore, it is important that transport processes are not viewed solely through the prism of service efficiency but also through the prism of efficiency of deliveries throughout the entire supply chain. The dynamic development of the economy has had a huge impact on transport, which has become an indispensable element of a company's functioning in the goods and services market. In view of the above, the aim of this article is to highlight the importance of road transport in the national and international economy. In addition, the authors analyzed freight transport routes in the context of the logistics transport network, which contributes not only to integrated enterprise management but also to the efficient functioning of the supply chain.

Cargo consolidation is an important step towards sustainable development of transport. It allows to reduce: emission of greenhouse gases, energy consumption, fuel consumption. Combining cargos in one vehicle allows to reduce the number of runs necessary to deliver goods to the clients. It allows to reduce the amount of pollution, fuel consumption and costs of transport. Cargo consolidation also reduces emission of harmful substances to natural environment and allows enterprises to save time and money. As a result of the data obtained and the analysis carried out, solutions were proposed to reduce transport costs for both customer A and customer B. It has been proven that cargo consolidation is now a very important element of the entire supply chain to the destination in terms of sustainable transport development.

Packagings play an important role in economy. In transport, they are used to secure all kinds of products from sender to consumer. Due to growing and changing needs of the market, packagings must have appropriate aesthetic qualities and resistance to external factors that may occur during transport. Therefore, it is important to constantly adapt packagings in the context of complying with standards of transport of products. The goal of the article was to analyse and assess selected properties of packagings of cosmetic products in the aspect of transport processes. Strength tests (compression test, tensile test), test of resistance of the packagings to high temperature and test of changes of properties of the packagings using an immersion method were conducted. An analysis of conducted tests gave an answer for the question whether packaging properly protect products in a transport process.

Therefore, concentration around the issues of transport companies' operations has become important due to the quality of services. In the article, the authors performed research on the transport pro-cesses on a real object. The Jasło-Odense- Police-Jasło and Jasło-Berlin-Police-Jasło routes were subject to research; it included implementation of a monitoring system for the purposes of improvement in freight processes. As a result, these types of activities contribute to the company's development, providing certainty on the transport market, and due to the fact that customers require flexibility, speed of operation and comprehensive handling of transport orders as part of Just-in-Time and Door-to-Door Door delivery, it becomes a crucial element of the transport company's existence.

The transport of cargo forces appropriate experience from the freight forwarder in planning and implementing the transport process, as the fundamental goal of managing the transport process is to constantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of freight organization while ensuring the highest of customer service. In the article, the authors carried out research of a transport process on a real object. The Jasło-Berlin-Szczecin-Jasło route was subject to research by implementing a monitoring system for the purposes of freight improvement. The analysis presents practical aspects of planning, organizing and coordinating transport.
