The driver allegedly pulled over at the intersection of the Bruce Highway and Dovedale Road after travelling about 20 kilometres with the trailer engulfed in flames.
Burning debris was littered across the highway in the trailer's wake, which sparked multiple spot fires in bushland adjoining the highway.
The man will face Bundaberg Magistrates Court on May 17
