"The blaze broke out just before 8am as the truck was travelling on the Kings Highway," they said.
"Crews from the Braidwood Fire Station were joined by police and the Rural Fire Service at the scene were flames had engulfed the rig, which was carrying a couple of excavators.
"Firefighters saved the heavy machinery as they took control of the blaze, but the truck was destroyed."
The spokesperson said nobody was hurt during the incident.
