Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Truck drivers believe that a fair rate for the job is £6.36 for day shifts and £8.63 for nights, according to a survey of more than 270 drivers. Last year a similar survey came up with figures of £5.45 and £6.96.

The survey, carried out by People Direct, discovered that the bacon butty and cooked breakfast remain the drivers' favourite, with the Mars bar, rather than the Yorkie bar, top ping the chocolate popularity stakes. Only 4% of drivers prefer a piece of fruit.

When it comes to entertainment, BBC Radio 1 and 2 top the charts. Only 3% regularly tune in to stations such as Classic FM and Radio 3.

The M23 and M6 in the Midlands were cited as the worst locations for motorway hold-ups, being named by 77% of respondents.
