The truck's driver, Ceasar Arvinger, 50, of Jacksonville, pulled over when he noticed smoke billowing up from the rear of the vehicle, Montiero said.
Arvinger was unable to put out the fire with an extinguisher, so troopers said he unhooked the truck from the trailer.
Investigators said the southbound lanes of the interstate were closed in the area while firefighters battled the flames.
