John Walker (28) was fast asleep when fire ripped through his cab, destroying the vehicle and its load in minutes.
A mystery passer-by, who is thought to have been leaving the Brake Brothers depot near Grantham, saw the smoke escaping through the sunroof and immediately dived in and pulled him to safety.
John, who has been a lorry driver for seven years, is now desperate to thank the man for his brave actions.
"There is a hero out there who needs to be found and thanked for his heroic actions," he said.
John and his friend Alge Turner parked their lorries on Occupation Road, Great Gonerby, Grantham, in the early hours of Tuesday, August 5.
The rescuer was thought to have been travelling in a white DAF at 2am on the evening of the incident on his way to Crawley.
