-You'll inevitably get stuck behind -one of their 150 lorries. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:14 | |
-But have you ever wondered -how milk reaches your Cornflakes? | 0:00:14 | 0:00:18 | |

-..he was certainly at the table -when the first wheel was designed. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:45 | |
-Take pride in tailing -these kings of the road... | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |

-It's another morning in Llanfyrnach. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
-In the garage, as if they didn't -have enough lorries to repair... | 0:01:03 | 0:01:08 | |
-..Mike Rodgers -has taken on a hobble. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
-The clutch went when he was -delivering to a nearby farm. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:16 | |
-He's an Irishman. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
-We towed him in with a tractor and -replacing the clutch for him now. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
-There was one in stock -for this model... | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |

-Where would mere mortals -like us start? | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |

-..with a bit of luck! | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
-Let's hope it works. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
-You need more than luck -to replace that. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
-Watch your feet! | 0:01:55 | 0:01:56 | |
-It's half a ton so not good -if it lands on your feet. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |

-Come on. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:02 | |

-Where would they be without -a regular supply of spanners? | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |

-I came straight from school. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
-I don't know where the time went. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
-I started by working -in the stores... | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
-..and then did all the -run of the mill sort of things. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:22 | |
-How it's going? | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |

-It's changed since the days of -the microfiche and a pencil or biro. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
-These days, it's computerized -and all online... | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
-..so it's changed a lot -over the years. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
-The maintenance department -keeps track of everything. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:25 | |
-We keep maintenance records -of all the work on each lorry. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
-Every lorry and trailer is treated -as a customer of the garage. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:35 | |
-It's important to be organized -in this business. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
-These are the heavier items so -that's springs, drums and radiators. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:45 | |
-The stock arrives in the morning. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
-All the small items -are kept in these drawers. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:52 | |
-These are all the unions -and fittings for the brakes... | 0:04:52 | 0:04:57 | |
-..and all the electric terminals -are in the drawers over here. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:02 | |
-It's all labelled. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
-Everything has a part number. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
-About 60% of the stock -is used for Mansel itself... | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
-..and 40% of it -is for our customers. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
-There's about 350,000 Volvo parts... | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
-..and 200,000 non-Volvo parts -and that still isn't enough for us! | 0:05:19 | 0:05:24 | |
-A sheet of hardboard... | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
-..and I need two sets of seven-inch -shoes, heavy duty, please. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
-Cheers! | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
-There's no such thing -as day and night here. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
-Alan is going on the company's -most common route. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
-I'm delivering milk -to Glanbia Cheese in Llangefni. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
-This is my lorry. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:43 | |
-Kaye owns it -but you know what I mean! | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
-Alan's an ambassador -for national unity. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |

-It's a pleasure to go there. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
-You might find it pleasurable -but others feel it's frustrating! | 0:05:56 | 0:06:01 | |
-On the journey -from Llanfyrnach to Llangefni... | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
-..the opportunity to overtake -is rare. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
-It's inevitable -that he'll have drivers on his tail! | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
-Twenty Mansel Davies lorries -make the same journey every day. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 | |
-Contrary to popular belief, Mansel's -drivers don't run on Duracell! | 0:06:15 | 0:06:21 | |
-They are bound to the same rules -of any other lorry driver. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
-No driver should drive -for more than nine hours a day. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:32 | |
-They cannot work -for more than six days a week. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:36 | |
-Every driver must have at least -eleven hours of rest a night... | 0:06:36 | 0:06:40 | |
-..but that can be reduced -to nine hours three times a week. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:44 | |
-They must stop for a break -of 45 minutes... | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
-..after driving for -four and a half hours. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
-This is all recorded. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:53 | |
-All the data comes back here -and we have to analyze it. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
-Anyone who has gone over their limit -by even five minutes... | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
-..has to be reprimanded. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
-The driver will get a fine -of up to 100. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
-You can't do it any more. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:09 | |
-The years of people driving -every hour of the day are long gone. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:14 | |
-You have to stick to the rules. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
-In Wales, there's a sky full -of Michelin stars... | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
-..in the form of pit stops. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
-They stop here most days. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
-A couple of boys stop -and have their breaks here. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
-If they're hungry, they have a snack -or cup of coffee or a cup of tea. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:35 | |
-I try to give good service... | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
-..tidy food... | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
-..and charge reasonably prices... | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
-..and they're happy. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
-Nothing beats it. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
-Welsh bacon. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:47 | |
-Well, "bac-on" the job now, Alan! | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
-Mansel Davies' presence in the area -goes beyond the workplace. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:01 | |
-It has supported the local -rugby team since the very start. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:05 | |
-I've been its president -since it started 23 years ago. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:10 | |
-The club is doing well when you -take into account it's a rural area. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:14 | |
-The club has moved through the ranks -over the years... | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
-..from Division 8 to Division 1. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
-It's made up of local people. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
-Most of the team started here as -youngsters and worked their way up. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:30 | |
-We didn't go mad -and throw money at it... | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
-..but slowly chipped away at it. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
-It's a tough division -by they hold their own. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
-These mountain lads are like -mountain sheep - small but tough! | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
-It's a labour of love -for one employee. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
-He's the team manager -and parts manager. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
-He's the most important man -in this club. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
-He puts his heart and soul into it. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
-It's 17 seasons since I started. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |

-There's a familiar face -in the stands. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
-Go on, get it in. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:51 | |

-He might have been afraid -of getting a telling off from Dad! | 0:10:23 | 0:10:28 | |
-That's the nature of the man -and it's why he has his job. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:33 | |
-Was there a word of warning -when they lost? | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
-Only if we got injured. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
-He got angry -if we broke an arm or a leg. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
-Is that because you couldn't work -or that you couldn't play? | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
-Both! | 0:10:47 | 0:10:47 | |
-Both! - -And he doesn't like losing. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |

-There's no point pushing that wall - -it isn't moving! | 0:12:34 | 0:12:38 | |

-The van arrives at 10.30am -every day... | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
-..and they rush out -like a pack of animals! | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
-Vegetarian steak bakes. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
-Vegetarian steak bakes. - -Vegetarian steak bakes! | 0:13:03 | 0:13:04 | |

-It's dry so we'll take a quick walk -for some fresh air. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |

-..and they'll need to buy a new one -at 200-300 a piece! | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
-It's probably caused by a nail. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |

-Keith arrives before he can -think about a second bacon bap. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:21 | |
-How are you, Al? | 0:14:21 | 0:14:22 | |
-How are you, Al? - -Very good, thank you. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:23 | |
-You called again. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:24 | |
-You called again. - -Yes, I've got a problem. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
-It's flat on the bottom -but the top is fine. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
-Move forward and it'll be fine. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
-Move forward and it'll be fine. - -Yes, I'll use the top part. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
-I'll have a look at it now, Al. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
-I'll have a look at it now, Al. - -Thank you. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:36 | |
-First, I need to jack it up. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:41 | |
-I'll either repair the puncture -or change the tyre. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
-You don't need to remove the wheel -to change the tyre. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
-It means the drivers -don't have to check the wheels. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:54 | |
-The Mansel Davies fleet -goes through 4,300 tyres a year... | 0:14:54 | 0:14:59 | |
-..so Keith changes tyres more often -than he changes his pants... | 0:14:59 | 0:15:04 | |
-..or his washing machine goes crazy! | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
-Here's another Mansel Davies lorry -and it's being overtaken. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:11 | |
-The tyre bill is nothing compared -with their petrol bill. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:17 | |
-These lorries swallow 25,000 litres -a day or nine million a year... | 0:15:17 | 0:15:22 | |
-..so an extra penny at the pump -can make a world of difference. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:26 | |
-It's fine now but I'll check over it -and check all the pressures. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:32 | |
-It'll be ready for another load. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:34 | |
-There was a nail in it -so I'll repair it and use it again. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:40 | |
-Nothing goes to waste. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
-No, so that was a good job done. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
-Put that bap down, Alan. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:49 | |
-You're free to go. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
-Back in Llanfyrnach, -it's high jinks in the office again. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:03 | |
-Where do they get the time -to think up these tricks? | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
-Between pasties, maybe. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:08 | |
-Be careful now. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
-In order -to extend their catchment area... | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
-..they attempt to send -a Mansel employee into space... | 0:16:19 | 0:16:24 | |
-..unbeknown to him! | 0:16:24 | 0:16:26 | |
-What am I going to do with this? | 0:16:27 | 0:16:28 | |
-What am I going to do with this? - -Hold it. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:29 | |
-I'm not going to light that. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:36 | |
-I'm not going to light that. - -You chicken! | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
-Oh, is it a party popper? | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
-Light it off there, Chipsy. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
-Give me it -and I'll light it off there. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
-What is it? Is it streamers? | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
-What is it? Is it streamers? - -No. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:50 | |
-Is that a rocket? | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
-Open the window. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:53 | |
-It looks like a nuclear warhead. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
-Are you ready? | 0:16:57 | 0:16:58 | |
-Make a wish. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
-CHEERING | 0:17:02 | 0:17:03 | |
-They might not be in space -but they've reached Carmarthen! | 0:17:08 | 0:17:13 | |
-We're like a satellite garage... | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
-..doing a lot of local companies. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
-OK. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:20 | |
-It's probably 40 vehicles -coming here for six weeklies. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:24 | |
-It's mostly general maintenance... | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
-..and breakdowns with Mansel Davies. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
-This lorry isn't owned by Mansel but -a local farmer has a noisy problem. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:35 | |
-It's the sensor -in the air pressure gauge. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
-The gauge has been -shooting up and down. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
-It's more annoying than a big issue -due to the buzzer... | 0:17:42 | 0:17:46 | |
-..but it needs fixing. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
-It's a nuisance. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
-It works fine -but it's annoying for the driver. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:55 | |
-I'm replacing a faulty sensor -and hope it solves the problem. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:59 | |
-This measures the amount of air -that you have in the tank. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
-If it's faulty, the gauge goes up -to show there isn't air in the tank. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:10 | |
-There's plenty of air in this tank -but the sensor is faulty. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
-These days, there are sensors -for everything on the lorries. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:19 | |
-You can't repair it yourself... | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
-..so you have to come -to these garages. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
-They hook it up to a laptop -and it detects any problems. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:32 | |
-This lorry is over ten years old. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
-I doubt I'll be able to make -a claim on the warranty now. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:40 | |
-These lorries are very expensive... | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
-..so it's important to have -all the correct parts. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:47 | |
-The gauge wasn't working... | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
-..and it was causing -my stress levels to rise. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:54 | |
-That's it. All done. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:56 | |
-Thank you. | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
-Thank you. - -No problem. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:00 | |
-Very good. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
-Mind how you go. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:03 | |
-The lorry is alright and -the beeping in the cab has stopped. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:12 | |
-HORN | 0:19:12 | 0:19:13 | |
-But there's plenty of other beeps -to show another happy customer. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:18 | |
-Each lorry in the fleet -needs a service every six weeks. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:22 | |
-Jack Vaughn is the man who ensures -there's a regular supply of parts. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:28 | |
-Where's the sensor? | 0:19:28 | 0:19:29 | |
-Where's the sensor? - -It's here. That's what you want. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
-It's the oil pressure sensor. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
-Where were the ones yesterday? | 0:19:34 | 0:19:36 | |
-They were in the box. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
-What box? | 0:19:39 | 0:19:40 | |
-What box? - -The box I gave you yesterday. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:42 | |
-No, not yesterday. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:43 | |
-Yes. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:45 | |
-They were there for you. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
-Here you go. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:50 | |
-I deliver the parts -to all the garages. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
-Mans has four garages but -I deliver to other customers too. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:57 | |
-The parts keep the lorries -on the road. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
-It's a large area to cover. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:02 | |
-It's the whole of the old Dyfed. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
-I go as far north as Penrhyncoch, -as far east as Neath... | 0:20:05 | 0:20:10 | |
-..all of Pembrokeshire -and Llandovery. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
-They install gearboxes -and engines... | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
-..but these Volvos -don't need them often. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
-The caskets are the worst. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
-These small contractors -need a load of them. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:30 | |
-We don't have forklifts -so we roll them out... | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
-..but we manage it. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
-Jack could sell a kebab -to a vegetarian... | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
-..and has his own sideline. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
-Let me tell you something. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
-I've got a few parts in here -to deliver... | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
-..but take a look at this. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
-I've got a special offer for you. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
-This is a special offer. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:53 | |
-Look at this brush. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:55 | |
-It has an extendable handle... | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
-..so that you can reach up high -to wash the lorries. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:02 | |
-This is my special offer. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
-It's 20 plus VAT, just for you. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
-It's good for washing the windows. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:10 | |
-I got one for the misses to wash the -conservatory and it's a good worker. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:15 | |
-The brush he's talking about, -isn't it? | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
-It's Friday afternoon and I need -to go home to play with my toys. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:23 | |
-He must have another brush. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
-HORN | 0:21:26 | 0:21:27 | |
-A few happy beeps and off he goes. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
-It doesn't appear to be -quite as easy for poor Alan. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:36 | |
-Hello, Andy. -I've arrived in Llangefni. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:41 | |
-There's a bit of a problem. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
-There's six lorries in front of me -but they are tipping them slowly. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:48 | |
-It's the dryers -that have come to a standstill. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:53 | |
-They dry the milk, -or process it, I should say... | 0:21:53 | 0:21:58 | |
-..but they stop working sometimes. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
-One day, they had an issue -with the computers. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
-I couldn't help them with that! | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
-It'll be about two or three hours. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
-I'll be on the pump -for about two hours. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
-It's been a long day for Alan -but will be arrive home tonight? | 0:22:14 | 0:22:20 | |
-I've got enough time so I might -make it to Dolgellau or Machynlleth. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:26 | |
-I usually manage it. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
-I haven't done -a lot of driving today. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
-It's four and a half hours. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:34 | |
-I've only driven for that. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
-I'm paid per hour. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
-If I'm here all day, I'm still paid, -fair do's to them. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
-It's fine by me. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
-They are ready for me -so I can unload the milk. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:52 | |
-Thank you. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:54 | |
-Between the puncture -and bacon baps... | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
-..Alan will reach his bed in the -back of the cab before night falls. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:02 | |
