Over the past two years, due to the spread of the epidemic and the restrictions imposed, state borders have been closed, restrictions on the movement of people and goods have been established, supply chains have been disrupted and, as a result, consumer demand and purchasing power have decreased. These events had a negative impact on the revenues of operator companies. Transportation of goods is carried out by different modes of transport. The choice of transport depends on many factors: the volume of cargo transported, the location of enterprises of producers and consumers, the degree of development of the transport infrastructure.At present, the task of reducing the transport component in the price of goods and, accordingly, the costs of operating companies of railway rolling stock during the transportation of goods is becoming urgent. This can be achieved by outsourcing some of the work performed by rolling stock operating companies.The conditions for the termination of work by the rolling stock operator are considered. A tool for analysis is presented, an assessment of the effectiveness of outsourcing is made. The use of outsourcing will allow railway rolling stock operators to reduce costs for non-core activities, to focus on those processes that directly bring profit.

Currently, there is a process of redistribution of existing cargo flows, an active search is underway for alternative options for the delivery of goods, and actual logistics chains are being formed. Logistics companies in the context of existing prohibitions and restrictions are forced to find new markets. The long-term vector of cooperation from the western side is moving to the east. In these rapidly changing conditions for the functioning of the country’s economy, the importance of domestic road and rail transport is growing. Road transport is the most rapidly rebuilding in the development of new transport chains. The importance of rail transport also remains high, especially when transporting goods over long distances. Improving the efficiency of logistics providers directly depends on the choice of business strategy and the development of the company as a whole.Tools are presented to assess the effectiveness of logistics providers. Methods are proposed for performing such an analysis, allowing to draw conclusions about the required number of transport infrastructure facilities, the choice of transport mode for the full development of a given cargo flow. The result of the study was the analysis of a way to minimize the costs of logistics providers using the method of comparative analysis. This method takes into account the costs of maintaining transport infrastructure facilities, maintaining and servicing vehicles, organizing transportation, by searching for the break-even point of a logistics company.
