I don’t know about a fire but years ago I had my truck (or the company’s ) truck nicked in the yard 1 night never to be seen again with all my gear maps overnight gear the lot in it even things with my address on when I rang the gaffer to tell him he thought I was joking ,it was a really nice truck but when I mentioned my gear he said that’s your problem 
When I had my accident in my truck in 2000, I lost everything and claimed off my house insurance.
Ken.
Im sure i remember reading about a firm years ago in a truck mag yhat offered a driver insurance for situations like that.

I wonder if the current site sponsers offer any sort of cover for drivers personal items!

Just a sat nav, phone and a navigator map in my cab that belong to me. It’s all to hand if the wagon catches fire. Never had a fire extinguisher provided but if I did it would only be used if someone was trapped. Not paid enough to be a fireman or to be concerned if it burns.

If you do it right - your house contents insurance should cover most of it.
mine is covered by my house insurance and i think there’s a limit on how much cash they will pay out on
You can usually get insurance at the services - They tend to hang around the bogs

Are you sure you are 100% correct with these figures? I only ask as studying your lifestyle and physique i reckon the £20 worth of food may be an underestimate?
that’s just his breakfast Mike, he stops at the shop 3 times a day to restock the fridge 
oh, and JD, you forgot your pink rubber ■■■■■ and lube for when you fancy a quick one off the wrist 
I don’t have any of that kit in mine,where do you park it when you’re not driving it ? My boss would either fake a heart attack or pretend to be deaf ! Fat chance !
£300 cash why ? i carry a tenner and cash cards etc why you fell the need to carry that much ?
If I was in the UK, I’d be wondering where you parked when you’re not in it.

I work abroad all week so im prepared in case I get caught out with being weekended. Also sometimes I bring wine or some baccy back and pay in English notes for it…
But mainly so the wife can’t keep an eye on my spending.
