Possibly caused by the driver tossing his cigarette butt out the window...which then got sucked back onto the cargo.

Don't want to spend money on safety and better truck driver training (and education on environmental effects), than try a accident like this. This costs that company a lot of money. Insurance will not fork up for the bill if the cargo was not meeting safety standard transport.
