Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

THERE HAS BEEN a sharp increase in demand for the services of Southern British Road Services in recent months, according to its managing director, John Farrant. But he told a seminar in London this week that many smaller haulage firms and owner drivers had been "stopped in their tracks".

Mr Farrant said that increasing legislation and the CPC requirements, added to economic pressure, had led to the closure of thousands of small companies in the past year. He believes that the "cottage-industry" approach to transport must go and that only far-sighted firms will survive.

In 1980 Mr Farrant expects SBRS to make steady progress despite economic forecasts. He claims that only because they had monitored the market properly could the company have anticipated the demand which had led to the success they were now enjoying.
