A spokesperson for Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) said two FRNSW crews attended along with four Rural Fire Service (RFS) tankers.
"Because of the location we had a hard time getting water, so the RFS did a really wonderful job helping us with that," the spokesperson said.
The truck was towed from the highway at 4.40am, with no injuries reported.
