The aim of this paper is to identify problems related to human resources management in road transport and analyse their impact on supply chain disruptions. Particular attention is paid to the role of effective information flow, driver organization, and coordination of operational activities, which are crucial for ensuring the continuity and reliability of transport processes. An important element of the study is also an attempt to answer the question of the benefits and risks of implementing modern technologies and automation in the context of personnel management and communication in the supply chain. Furthermore, the author analyses the impact of increasing digitization, including the development of communication networks, on improving the coordination of activities and information flow between supply chain participants. The discussion also includes an assessment of whether increasing automation is actually contributing to reducing staffing problems or generating new challenges in the area of human resources management.
