ABSTRACT: Logistics managers are responsible for efficient functioning of transport companies. This article will allow logistics managers to better understand the essence of logistics projects and the implementation of alternative routes. The aim of this article is to show the process of implementation of new routing alternatives. The analysis was conducted for the period January ÷ April 2020, which marked the emergence of the first COVID-19 cases, as well as for the months January ÷ April 2021. Alternative routes were proposed and implemented to improve the quality of services in a transport company operating in Poland. The impact of the pandemic on the selected transport company was evaluated. The results on new sections of transport corridors were presented together with an in-depth verification of how the introduced changes affected the provided transport services. In the end, the most important benefits connected with the analysis and the implemented project were presented.
