Background: Despite the large number of studies on various asp ect and forms of supply chain collaboration, the issue is still classified as a r elatively poorly recognized research problem in the logistics field. This article is crucial in the discussion on the further directions for the development of cross-organizati onal collaboration. The main objective of these studies was to assess the r eadiness of companies to start and develop vertical and horizontal collaboration within logistics. Methods: The research problem was analysed on the basis of primary and secondary data sources. Primary researc h was conducted among manufacturing and trade companies a s well as logistics service providers. In the stati ical description the Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon test were used . It was assumed that the result was statistically significant for p<0.05. Results: The results show a high readiness of the companies surveyed for further vertical integration and two variables had a statistically significant effect on the asses ment of the respondents, i.e. the current level of integration and the role the respondents played in the supply chain. As far as horizontal cooperation is concerned, the readine ss of the companies surveyed for further integration was slightly above th average level. Compared to vertical collaborati n, the difference between the average rating was statistically highly significant. Conclusions: The study indicates the need for the companies sur veyed to be involved in logistics collaboration. However, it should be emphasized that the responden ts prefer collaboration with companies which do not operate at the same level in the supply chain. As far as horizonta l collaboration is concerned, the results can be ex plained by a number of concerns expressed by the respondents regarding the behavior of potential collaborators. Apparently , in this case, an individual approach with a competitive attitude dom inates among the respondents.
