The driver got out under his own steam after the truck hit a pole and a tree, landing on its side on the northbound highway outside the Trader Joe's near the Midland Avenue exit shortly before 6:30 a.m.
The right and center lanes were temporarily closed as a heavy duty wrecker righted and removed the truck. Traffic stretched for miles.
All lanes were reported reopened at 8:44 a.m.
Paramus police, firefighters and EMS responded.
