'I feel like a prisoner in my own lorry'

Lorry drivers moving goods in Western Europe for Ikea and other retailers are living out of their cabs for months at a time, a ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ investigation has found.

Romanian driver Emilian says he is paid less than £3 an hour, and feels "like a prisoner" in his cab. Ikea said it was "saddened by the testimonies" of the drivers.

The drivers the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ spoke to were employed by haulage companies based in Eastern Europe, which are paid to transport Ikea goods.
