Kaniva Senior Constable Adrian Hoggett said the B-double truck caught fire on the highway about 4pm, near Mallee Dam Road.
“The Western Highway was closed in both directions for a short time,” he said.
“There were no injuries. One trailer was lost but there were no goods on board.
“The fire spread to a nearby paddock and burnt a small patch of grass, but was contained.”
VicRoads asked motorists to delay their travel through the area, or allow extra time.
