A local law enforcement source said the truck, found near Big Bear Lake, is the one police across California have been searching for.
Authorities believe Dorner is somewhere in the mountains nearby.
Guests at a Big Bear ski resort were told to stay in their rooms for time being. Ski resorts have been evacuated and closed.
A local website in Big Bear reported a strike team was in place and a command post was being set up.
A heavy flow of cars is leaving the resort area, the line of cars are headed toward Highway 18 toward the Lucerne Valley/Victorville area.

Christopher Jordan Dorner, 33, of La Palma, is said to be targeting police officers in a bid to avenge his firing from the Los Angeles Police Department in 2008 and, according to his manifesto, to clear his name.
He is wanted in the killings of Cal State Fullerton assistant basketball coach Monica Quan and her fiance, Keith Lawrence, in Irvine Sunday. Quan is the daughter of a police captain who represented Dorner in his departmental hearing that resulted in his firing from the LAPD.
Police say he then ambushed two Riverside officers, killing one, this morning.
Chris Riddle, vice president of marketing for Bear Mountain and Snow Summit Ski Resorts, announced Bear Mountain Ski Resort was closing due to the volatile situation surrounding the manhunt for suspect Christopher Dorner.
"Because the burning vehicle was found in the Bear Mountain parking lot, the San Bernardino County Sheriff has set up a command center there," said Riddle.
"They are now doing a search of the area around where the vehicle was found."
Riddle did say that the Snow Summit resort would remain open and skiiers were asked to continue skiing at the summit resort, which is adjacent to Bear Mountain.
The resorts are in contact with the Sheriff's Department and the Forest Service and are cooperating with them, according to Riddle.
Snow Summit is hosting Uniform Day today and is offering free admission to law enforcement and military personnel.
