Positioning enables a firm to present its strategy to the target market and gives it the possibility of managing the users of its services.

Strategies that can be used for positioning of road freight company have been analysed. Due to that the key factors (macro environment and regulation, logistics strategies of the borderline industries, sources of creating value in road freight industry) that determine the process of their positioning have been analysed.
