Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the development trends of the road freight transport sector in the Republic of Moldova with a particular focus on road haulage for hire and reward. The importance of the sector for the national economy in terms of its contribution to the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employment was emphasised.
