Thanks for your post Freight Train,anybody can see by opening this link that the tractor is wasted.
Odd there is no mention of the truckers condition?
Hope he got out in time.

Your welcome Sir.

According to the CB... he got out and was okay. Good news considering what was left of the truck.
I had to detour around this one this morning. You could see the smoke from Minooka, about 20 miles away.

EDIT- Found it at the bottom of the page Apostolic.

The chief said he did not believe the truck driver was badly injured.

The driver jumped out of the burning truck while it was still running. He sustained minor injuries and is currently home.

Thanks for the update. Glad he's okay and at home recovering. That truck was a mess.
