Recently this masterpiece (attachment) came out as the new visual identity of a certain cargo transport company.
It says 'a common road to success' trying to express something like 'let's join our forces to make your business successful'

Am I correct to say (?), that:
Although 'common' means 'shared by at least two entities', it does not express any effort done for it to be in common. I would personally use 'joint'.
The nuances of 'road' vs. 'way' in the phrase 'road to success' are similar to 'on the road' vs. 'on the way'. If you put out a biography, you would name it 'road to success', because the person probably climbed up and fallen down the ladder of life many times before reaching the summit. This is not this case I hope and the railway will deliver your goods without hesitation.
Thank you for any ideas.

A joint road to success sounds very odd to me, like the road is jointly owned or something like that. I don’t think way works that well, either. A common way to success would be more about the things everyone needs to be successful (say, education, talent, a good network, etc.), whereas the road to success is more about the journey itself. It’s not a huge difference, but in this context, road feels a lot more natural to me. Eventually, though, I think this all comes down to opinion more than verifiable fact, so I’m not sure it’s really a good fit here.

"Common" also means "commonly used", i.e. used by lots of people. That's what I understand "a common road to success" to mean.
