Road cargo transport accounts for a major part of the system of transport in Poland and in the European Union. The paper is a comparative analysis of the structure of road transport sector, cost of carrier services in different countries and their economic performance. The paper is aimed at demonstrating that the structure of Polish road transport sector and its economic performance, compared to other EU countries, inhibit Polish entrepreneurs’ adaptation efforts connected with the “Mobility Package.” Studies have shown that the implementation of proposed changes will deteriorate the competitiveness of Polish carriers, who currently enjoy cost advantage over their competitors, but whose labour productivity is low, economic performance poorer and who suffer from unfavourable structure of road transport.
