-Mansel Davies is one of the

-most familiar names on our roads.

0:00:040:00:08

-You'll inevitably get stuck behind

-one of their 150 lorries.

0:00:080:00:14

-But have you ever wondered

-how milk reaches your Cornflakes?

0:00:140:00:18

-It's 28,000 litres

-which is more than I could stomach!

0:00:180:00:23

-That's only one full load.

0:00:230:00:25

-But it isn't the only thing

-they transport.

0:00:250:00:29

-It's bye, bye to the Netherlands

-and hello to Belgium.

0:00:290:00:33

-Mansel Davies?

0:00:330:00:35

-The company is decades old and if

-Mansel wasn't holding the pencil...

0:00:360:00:40

-..he was certainly at the table

-when the first wheel was designed.

0:00:410:00:45

-Take pride in tailing

-these kings of the road...

0:00:450:00:49

-..because this series will prove

-that Mansel Davies was there first.

0:00:490:00:54

-You can bet that a Mansel Davies

-lorry has driven on most roads...

0:00:590:01:04

-..not just in Wales

-but overseas too.

0:01:040:01:07

-The drivers are like snails

-and carry their own homes!

0:01:080:01:11

-Ireland is one of the

-most common destinations.

0:01:140:01:17

-At the moment, we've got about

-four or five hauls a day.

0:01:170:01:22

-Most of it is the whey protein

-that is taken out there to be dried.

0:01:220:01:27

-Our Pembrokeshire Freight also sends

-trailers as opposed to lorries.

0:01:280:01:34

-We send 30 trailers out and

-30 trailers come back every day...

0:01:340:01:38

-..and that's just trailers.

0:01:380:01:40

-It's 6.00pm and Dai Hands' day

-has only just started.

0:01:410:01:46

-He's preparing the lorry

-for a trip to the Emerald Isle.

0:01:460:01:49

-I'm hitching it to the tank.

0:01:500:01:52

-The safety clip needs to be secure

-to hold the tank to the lorry.

0:01:530:01:59

-Tonight,

-I'm going to Pembroke Dock...

0:01:590:02:03

-..so that we can cross to Ireland

-on the overnight ferry.

0:02:040:02:08

-I'll arrive in Ireland

-in the morning...

0:02:080:02:11

-..travel to the far side

-of Ireland...

0:02:110:02:14

-..unload the haul and come back.

0:02:140:02:17

-That's what

-I'm going to be doing tonight.

0:02:180:02:21

-Let's hit the road

-for Pembroke Dock!

0:02:240:02:28

-Good.

0:02:300:02:31

-It's a lovely evening and dry too.

0:02:410:02:45

-It's a change from the rain and the

-filthy weather we've been having.

0:02:460:02:51

-It's nice to have it dry.

0:02:510:02:53

-The crossing can be quite choppy...

0:02:530:02:57

-..but I quite like it

-when it's choppy.

0:02:570:03:00

-I think I sleep better.

0:03:010:03:03

-You're rocked to sleep like a baby.

0:03:030:03:06

-It's good.

0:03:070:03:09

-It's like when you

-rock a baby to sleep.

0:03:090:03:12

-We've got it, Dai.

0:03:120:03:14

-No, Dai hasn't fallen asleep

-and woken up as a bus driver.

0:03:150:03:19

-This is an important fuel pit stop.

0:03:190:03:22

-Not for the lorry but the driver!

0:03:220:03:24

-Time for chips

-before going to the port.

0:03:240:03:27

-I need to fill my belly.

0:03:280:03:29

-I call here regularly

-when I go to Ireland...

0:03:300:03:34

-..but I'm not meant to park there.

0:03:340:03:37

-We'll have to be quick.

0:03:370:03:38

-Dai Book and Pencil might show up.

0:03:380:03:41

-A Bobby!

0:03:410:03:42

-What have you got by here?

0:03:440:03:46

-The thingamabob over there

-is a sausage in batter.

0:03:470:03:50

-That one?

0:03:500:03:51

-That one?

-

-Yes, that's a thingamabob.

0:03:510:03:53

-I'll have that, please, and chips.

0:03:530:03:55

-That sounds nice.

0:03:550:03:57

-And I'll have a pint of lager

-as well, please.

0:03:570:04:00

-You'll have to have

-a can of coke today.

0:04:010:04:03

-Do you want a can?

0:04:030:04:05

-Do you want a can?

-

-Yes, please.

0:04:050:04:06

-All the best.

0:04:060:04:07

-All the best.

-

-Bye, love. Take care.

0:04:070:04:08

-Thank you. Bye, bye.

0:04:090:04:10

-I've got legs like a Corgi so I need

-to put everything down by there.

0:04:160:04:20

-These are a bit short.

0:04:200:04:22

-I can't reach.

0:04:220:04:24

-Just as long as

-you can reach the pedals, Dai!

0:04:240:04:29

-Off to the dock now.

0:04:300:04:32

-The work never stops.

0:04:370:04:39

-Back on the yard,

-the shed is having a makeover.

0:04:390:04:42

-We're taking down

-the shed doors today.

0:04:430:04:45

-I hope they come down in one piece.

0:04:460:04:48

-They've been up for 20 years.

0:04:480:04:50

-I should know, I put them up!

0:04:510:04:52

-A few years ago, we had to

-raise the roof of the shed.

0:04:530:04:57

-They wanted to tip cake in here

-and it comes in large tippers.

0:04:580:05:02

-Trailers have got bigger

-over the years...

0:05:020:05:05

-..so the building has to match that.

0:05:050:05:08

-The doors will come down

-quick enough...

0:05:080:05:11

-..but it'll take a few days

-to fit the new doors.

0:05:110:05:15

-I'm not doing that.

0:05:160:05:17

-The lads are here today

-and will be here for a few days.

0:05:180:05:22

-The man responsible is the former

-Welsh rugby captain, Kevin Phillips.

0:05:230:05:28

-It's a big door

-so will take a lot of work to fit.

0:05:280:05:32

-We'll take down some of the sheets

-and steelwork and replace them.

0:05:320:05:37

-Hopefully, the door will fit

-as long as it was measured properly!

0:05:370:05:42

-It's an electric one so it should

-stop all the pushing and swearing.

0:05:440:05:48

-Press a button to open it

-and another to close it.

0:05:490:05:52

-He once held up the front row

-of the Welsh team.

0:05:520:05:56

-Holding up the side of a shed

-is a piece of cake for Kevin!

0:05:560:05:59

-Dai has found his way from the fish

-and chip shop to Pembroke Dock.

0:06:040:06:09

-There's four hours

-before he has to board...

0:06:100:06:13

-..so he can relax in the luxurious,

-five-star drivers' lounge.

0:06:130:06:18

-Time for supper.

0:06:230:06:25

-I'll sit by here.

0:06:270:06:29

-You've got plenty of choice.

0:06:290:06:31

-After parking in the port...

0:06:310:06:33

-..we come to the drivers' lounge.

0:06:340:06:37

-We've got a television

-in the corner.

0:06:370:06:40

-You can gamble away your money

-if you've got the money to spare.

0:06:400:06:44

-There's a water boiler and

-a microwave to do some cooking.

0:06:440:06:48

-Follow me through here

-and we've got a shower.

0:06:490:06:54

-There's someone in there now.

0:06:540:06:56

-And these are the toilets.

0:06:560:06:59

-Just in case you've never seen some

-before.

0:07:000:07:02

-There's sinks too!

0:07:030:07:04

-You can have a shave too.

0:07:040:07:06

-Thanks, Dai.

0:07:060:07:08

-This is us and the way we live.

0:07:080:07:12

-There's nothing wrong with it.

0:07:130:07:15

-It could be a lot worse.

0:07:150:07:17

-Where exactly, Dai?

0:07:170:07:20

-You've got chips.

0:07:200:07:21

-Do you want them?

0:07:220:07:23

-Go on then.

0:07:230:07:25

-It can get a bit lonely.

0:07:260:07:29

-The lads call each other and

-have a chat to boost their spirits.

0:07:290:07:34

-We know each other quite well.

0:07:350:07:38

-The drivers who have been

-with Mansel for a long time...

0:07:380:07:42

-..are a close-knit group

-and are just like family.

0:07:420:07:48

-Would you be interested in going

-to see Status Quo in Llanelli?

0:07:480:07:53

-When?

0:07:530:07:54

-When?

-

-August.

0:07:540:07:56

-We're like brothers

-and I have a lot of good friends.

0:07:560:08:00

-You do your best to help everyone,

-even those drivers you don't know.

0:08:010:08:07

-There aren't any enemies.

0:08:070:08:09

-No enemies.

0:08:090:08:10

-But like every relationship,

-someone always takes advantage!

0:08:110:08:15

-Is that a lorry?

0:08:160:08:17

-It doesn't say Mansel on the back!

0:08:170:08:20

-Don't tell anyone but it's the tenth

-time I've stolen some diesel...

0:08:200:08:25

-..and nobody's seen a thing.

0:08:250:08:27

-What's this, Shon?

0:08:280:08:29

-Pardon?

0:08:290:08:30

-Pardon?

-

-Again.

0:08:300:08:31

-I'm going

-to steal some diesel again.

0:08:320:08:34

-Kaye's put up security cameras

-and Midway Motors is in trouble.

0:08:340:08:39

-No problem, it's not facing me.

0:08:390:08:42

-There's a feed going to HQ not B&Q!

0:08:420:08:44

-Do you mind if I have half a litre?

0:08:450:08:47

-Help yourself,

-it's nothing to do with me.

0:08:470:08:50

-Are you going to say anything?

0:08:500:08:51

-Are you going to say anything?

-

-No, it's all on camera.

0:08:510:08:52

-What did you see?

0:08:520:08:53

-What did you see?

-

-Only dust.

0:08:530:08:55

-Thank you.

0:08:550:08:56

-We're lucky to have

-Mansel Davies nearby...

0:08:560:08:59

-..especially for the buses

-that go on long journeys.

0:09:000:09:03

-We have tanks at Midway but fill up

-here on diesel and AdBlue.

0:09:030:09:07

-They're good to us.

0:09:080:09:09

-Diesel.

0:09:100:09:11

-What is AdBlue?

0:09:110:09:14

-Umm, it's like...

0:09:140:09:16

-You could say that

-it's like sow's urine!

0:09:160:09:19

-That's the best way to describe it.

0:09:190:09:22

-It dries so don't get it

-on your hands or on the floor.

0:09:220:09:26

-Unfortunately, we have to use it.

0:09:270:09:29

-I'm told that it helps

-the environment.

0:09:290:09:32

-We listen to the people in the know!

0:09:330:09:35

-I'll have half a litre.

0:09:400:09:43

-Dat-cu did a lot of work

-with Kaye...

0:09:430:09:46

-..and now with Stephen.

0:09:460:09:48

-We still bring our buses here

-as they are so near.

0:09:480:09:52

-They also have a Volvo dealership

-and we own a lot of Volvo buses.

0:09:520:09:58

-It's wonderful for us

-in terms of parts.

0:09:580:10:01

-If there's a problem

-in the morning...

0:10:010:10:04

-..we could have the parts

-by the afternoon.

0:10:050:10:08

-HORN

0:10:080:10:10

-Dai has managed to make his chips

-last until 1.00am...

0:10:170:10:21

-..when they load the lorries

-onto the ferry.

0:10:210:10:24

-Two ferries leave every day so it's

-an important port for the company.

0:10:240:10:29

-Every lorry is weighed before being

-escorted to a specific parking bay.

0:10:300:10:35

-It ensures the cargo is perfectly

-balanced for the crossing.

0:10:360:10:41

-I've parked the lorry.

0:10:480:10:49

-The brakes have been applied

-on the lorry and the trailer.

0:10:490:10:54

-It's also chained in place.

0:10:540:10:56

-This keeps it safe

-as it can move due to its load.

0:10:560:11:00

-It could move

-if it's rough out at sea...

0:11:010:11:05

-..but it's perfectly safe now.

0:11:060:11:08

-I'm going to bed.

0:11:080:11:10

-I hope we get a guided tour

-of the cabin, Dai!

0:11:100:11:14

-Let's check my cabin number.

0:11:140:11:16

-Nine, two... this is me.

0:11:180:11:20

-It's good enough.

0:11:210:11:22

-This is my room.

0:11:250:11:26

-A home from home.

0:11:270:11:29

-Look at this.

0:11:290:11:30

-It's just the thing.

0:11:310:11:32

-It's good enough.

0:11:340:11:35

-Bed!

0:11:360:11:37

-Aye.

0:11:390:11:40

-That's what I call

-a room with a view.

0:11:420:11:45

-Yes, location, location, location!

0:11:450:11:49

-That's it.

0:11:510:11:52

-I don't think

-you want to see any more.

0:11:550:11:57

-That's a view I'd rather not see

-but that one is quite nice.

0:11:580:12:02

-I hope you didn't see too much.

0:12:030:12:05

-Goodnight!

0:12:050:12:06

-It's 6.00am

-at the Rosslare Ferry Port.

0:12:290:12:32

-But is Dai up and about yet?

0:12:330:12:35

-Good morning.

0:12:380:12:39

-Dai's lost already!

0:12:400:12:42

-Another morning has come around.

0:12:450:12:48

-The cargo deck is quite confined.

0:12:520:12:55

-It's lucky Dai has Corgi legs as

-there isn't room for anything else.

0:12:550:12:59

-The crossing was quite good

-and it was relatively calm.

0:13:000:13:05

-I had a few hours sleep

-which is good.

0:13:050:13:09

-The trip to Ireland

-is like a mini cruise.

0:13:090:13:13

-It's a shame it isn't longer so

-I could have a few more hours sleep.

0:13:130:13:18

-No, it's alright.

0:13:180:13:19

-It's a mini cruise and we'll have

-another on the way home tonight.

0:13:190:13:24

-You're fooling nobody, Dai!

0:13:240:13:27

-It's a four-hour-drive.

0:13:280:13:29

-We'll stop for a cuppa

-after two hours...

0:13:300:13:32

-..to wet one's whistle!

0:13:330:13:36

-A stone's throw from Llanfyrnach...

0:13:400:13:43

-..is another part of the Mansel

-empire, namely the Glogue Quarry.

0:13:430:13:48

-You need to go to Glogue.

0:13:490:13:50

-I need you to get

-three or four loads.

0:13:510:13:54

-I bought the Glogue Quarry in 1965.

0:13:550:13:58

-It was in administration

-and I bought a total of 93 acres.

0:13:590:14:03

-The Glogue Quarry

-is the former site of a slate works.

0:14:040:14:10

-We sell the waste from the site

-to farmers...

0:14:100:14:14

-..so that they can build roads.

0:14:150:14:17

-It's very convenient.

0:14:180:14:20

-Most of it is sold locally.

0:14:210:14:23

-Being here suits me.

0:14:230:14:26

-I've got a licence

-for the machine...

0:14:260:14:29

-..and can carry on by myself.

0:14:300:14:32

-There's years of work left here.

0:14:320:14:35

-There's plenty of stone over there

-but it's difficult to reach.

0:14:350:14:40

-A bit of time with this

-and I'll soon get at it!

0:14:410:14:44

-He won't get very far today.

0:14:470:14:49

-That lorry doesn't sound healthy.

0:14:490:14:51

-The lorry keeps missing and

-there's smoke coming from somewhere.

0:14:510:14:57

-I'll take it to the yard

-to see if they can find the problem.

0:14:570:15:02

-I thought it would clear

-after I'd loaded it...

0:15:030:15:07

-..but it's worse, if anything.

0:15:070:15:09

-It's a mystery, Lel!

0:15:100:15:12

-In Ireland, Dai is checking in.

0:15:120:15:15

-It's with someone

-more important than the boss!

0:15:150:15:18

-Alright?

0:15:180:15:19

-Alright?

-

-Aye, not so bad.

0:15:190:15:20

-Are you OK?

0:15:210:15:21

-Are you OK?

-

-We're OK.

0:15:210:15:23

-It was a good, smooth crossing.

0:15:230:15:26

-It could have been worse.

0:15:260:15:28

-It could have been worse.

-

-Yes, you're right.

0:15:280:15:29

-Oh, right.

0:15:300:15:31

-I'll have a word with you

-later in the day.

-Stay safe.

0:15:340:15:35

-Stay safe.

-

-Right-o, thank you.

0:15:350:15:37

-Love you. Ta-ra.

0:15:370:15:38

-Love you. Ta-ra.

-

-Love you too. Ta-ra.

0:15:380:15:39

-Everything is alright at home...

0:15:400:15:42

-..so I'm a happy driver!

0:15:430:15:46

-I'll call in the morning

-at about 7.30am.

0:15:460:15:50

-She knows that I'm alright...

0:15:510:15:53

-..and I know that they are alright.

0:15:540:15:56

-Happy bunny!

0:15:560:15:58

-We've always have this thing.

0:16:020:16:04

-She asks if I can see the moon.

0:16:050:16:07

-I tell her that I can see it...

0:16:070:16:09

-..and she tells me

-that she's looking at it too.

0:16:090:16:12

-The pair of us can see the moon.

0:16:120:16:15

-It's silly but important to us.

0:16:150:16:19

-We're both looking at the same thing

-at the same time.

0:16:190:16:23

-It's silly but there you go.

0:16:230:16:26

-It's fine as long as

-you don't howl like wolves, Dai!

0:16:260:16:30

-No light is being shed

-on the engine issue at Llanfyrnach.

0:16:300:16:34

-Lel's broken the lorry.

0:16:350:16:36

-A injector is broken.

0:16:360:16:38

-The solenoid inside has stopped

-working so the engine is missing.

0:16:380:16:43

-I've got another injector and

-I hope it will be ready by tomorrow.

0:16:440:16:48

-I need to remove the old injector.

0:16:490:16:51

-Number five has broken

-and it's that one there.

0:16:510:16:55

-I've removed the rocker and injector

-and this can go back in its place.

0:16:550:16:59

-The solenoid in this part

-had broken on the other one.

0:17:000:17:03

-The rocker arm moves up and down.

0:17:030:17:06

-It presses down on this.

0:17:060:17:08

-Every time it presses down...

0:17:080:17:10

-..the electric that comes to this

-from the ECU...

0:17:100:17:13

-..opens and closes

-the solenoid inside...

0:17:130:17:16

-..and comes out of here.

0:17:170:17:18

-It has stopped working

-so we have to change it.

0:17:180:17:21

-That's my next plan.

0:17:220:17:24

-I hope you were paying attention

-because I'll be asking questions!

0:17:240:17:28

-There we are. It's in place.

0:17:280:17:30

-It needs to be bolted into place

-if I can find the bolt!

0:17:320:17:35

-Where's the bolt gone?

0:17:350:17:37

-It was in here.

0:17:380:17:39

-Bolt it in place.

0:17:400:17:42

-You've got a plug that goes in here.

0:17:470:17:49

-It's as simple as that.

0:17:510:17:52

-We could all do it if it was that

-simple but how long will it last?

0:17:530:17:58

-It all depends on whether

-he drives it properly or not.

0:17:580:18:02

-It needs to go on top.

0:18:080:18:09

-Where's the spanner?

0:18:110:18:12

-Let's start her...

0:18:240:18:25

-..and she should purr.

0:18:260:18:28

-Hopefully!

0:18:280:18:30

-ENGINE STARTS

0:18:310:18:32

-REVS ENGINE

0:18:330:18:35

-It's alright now.

0:18:410:18:42

-Ready to go again.

0:18:420:18:44

-Go and fetch Lel.

0:18:460:18:47

-Go and fetch Lel.

0:18:470:18:49

-Dai's mini cruise

-has reached the heart of Ireland.

0:18:520:18:55

-We've passed Dungarvan

-which is the halfway point.

0:18:550:18:59

-I've always got music playing

-when I'm driving.

0:19:000:19:05

-It's a bit of rock music.

0:19:060:19:08

-There's Status Quo.

0:19:080:19:10

-It's that kind of music.

0:19:100:19:12

-Queen.

0:19:120:19:13

-Does Dai have his sights

-set on being a rock star?

0:19:150:19:20

-A lot of people have said that

-I look like Rod Stewart from afar...

0:19:200:19:26

-..but they wouldn't say that

-if they looked closely!

0:19:260:19:29

-A lot think I look like Rod Stewart.

0:19:300:19:32

-My wife won a competition

-on the radio...

0:19:330:19:36

-..and we got to go to Las Vegas.

0:19:360:19:39

-It wasn't just that.

0:19:400:19:41

-A limousine picked us up

-from the airport...

0:19:410:19:45

-..and took us to the hotel.

0:19:460:19:48

-We also had tickets to a concert...

0:19:490:19:51

-..and were dropped off

-where all the celebs were taken.

0:19:520:19:57

-I got out of the car and someone

-said, "Oh, it's Rod Stewart!"

0:19:580:20:03

-You wouldn't believe

-all the flashing cameras.

0:20:030:20:07

-It was unbelievable.

0:20:070:20:09

-But, um...

0:20:090:20:10

-I can honestly say that I think I've

-been Rod Stewart for ten seconds!

0:20:110:20:17

-You're more than that to us, Dai.

0:20:170:20:19

-Your face will soon open doors

-in Llanfyrnach too.

0:20:200:20:23

-Yes, the old sliding doors

-have done their job...

0:20:230:20:28

-..and opened a fair few times.

0:20:280:20:31

-They need to come down

-to be replaced.

0:20:310:20:34

-We bought the best we could get

-so they should last.

0:20:350:20:39

-Yes, finally.

0:20:390:20:41

-It's taken a few days

-but it's all working now.

0:20:410:20:45

-The door goes up and down

-and Kaye's happy.

0:20:450:20:48

-Will this last

-as long as the old one?

0:20:480:20:51

-That's a good question.

0:20:510:20:53

-It will last a lifetime as long as

-its looked after and they will.

0:20:530:20:57

-In Ireland, Dai's reached

-the food factory in Cork.

0:21:020:21:05

-Yahoo!

0:21:050:21:07

-We've arrived at our destination

-in Ireland.

0:21:070:21:11

-It's as far as we'll go for now.

0:21:120:21:14

-There's 38,000 litres of whey.

0:21:180:21:21

-But there's a spot of business to do

-before emptying the tank.

0:21:210:21:25

-I've got to do some work now.

0:21:320:21:34

-Look at how skilfully

-Dai does his work.

0:21:410:21:46

-I've never seen

-Rod Stewart doing that.

0:21:480:21:51

-The pipe is attached so I can

-take the sample to be tested...

0:21:520:21:57

-..and I'll be back in a second.

0:21:570:21:59

-Don't worry, that's a sample of whey

-and nothing else.

0:21:590:22:03

-Good.

0:22:040:22:05

-There we are.

0:22:060:22:07

-OK.

0:22:070:22:08

-OK, thank you.

0:22:080:22:10

-Everything's fine.

0:22:100:22:12

-It's back to Gwalia!

0:22:120:22:13

-# Da, da, dee, dee, dee #

0:22:150:22:17

-That was good, Dai.

0:22:170:22:19

-I would have sworn that was

-Rod Stewart himself singing!

0:22:190:22:23

-Job done!

0:22:230:22:24

-It's back to Wales for us.

0:22:250:22:27

-Let's go.

0:22:270:22:29

-Tarmac.
