The trucker's hitch is a compound knot that is frequently used for securing loads on trucks or trailers. You can also tie this knot to make a clothes line, rig a tarp, secure drybags on a raft or kayak, and a million other uses.
This knot works with any rope, flat webbing, or tubular webbing. The truckers hitch does not jam no matter how much you load the knot, and it comes apart easily once tension is released.
The knot is locked with a simple half-hitch to keep it secure even when wet or in high wind (while driving, etc.)
In this video I also teach you how to tie a G.E. Knot, which is a hitch to secure your rope to the initial anchor point. The G.E. Knot is also very easy to tie and comes apart instantly by pulling the tail of the rope.
Get a rope or strap and practice tying the trucker's hitch while you watch this video. Once you master it, it's a life hack you'll have forever.

You forgot the most important part... after tying your load you have to say the obligatory "that's not going anywhere".
-
Am I the only person who can watch someone how to tie the same knot 100 times and when I come to do it I just can’t? Then I end up just tying knots.
-
THIS is why the internet is important.
-
This is exaxtly what a Youtube video should be: no fluff, straight to the point, clear, and concise. Great job!!! Thanks!
-
Thank you. This is a great video but I would have been a terrible sailor. I have to refer to this every time I need to tie something down. LOL
-
I used your method to tie down my camper awning. It worked well. Thanks. If you are still following this after 7 years.
-
My dad had tried to teach me these knots for years. Never remembered them. Time to practice.
-
You won the knot race. Congratulations.
-
this is the third "truckers hitch" video i watched, and the first to explain it simply in less than 2 minutes
-
👍🙂 I have been using this hitch for over 50 years my dad drove truck and I learned it from him. YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON I HAVE SEEN DO IT RIGHT ✅️ Thank you for your time 😅
-
my Dad is a seasoned trucker and this is his knot of choice, problem is I was the kid who mastered holding the flashlight lol. Thank you for the video and patience.
-
I remember my dad use to use this knot to tie down pallets in a flat bed. Crazy!!!
-
I think I've watched 20 videos on how to do a trucker's hitch. In terms of production quality and delivery of the presentation, this was the best. Great job.
-
Wow after watching dozens of videos on truckers hitch I was still confused after forgetting How to tie it properly After watching your short and easy to understand demo I am now finally able to tie a great easy fast and very reliable knot. Many thanks for sharing
-
Thanks for the magic edit on the knot.
-
Actually three knots in one system. Brilliant, now we need a method to remember it. Thanks for making it commercial free.
-
You were the fourth video i tried to see and learn this knot: thank you so much for actually getting to the instructions instead of talking for a while about things i dont care about; for not using “technical” language to sound extra smart; for not putting horrendous music everywhere, and for clearly videoing the process. Thank you!
-
God bless you for not taking 15 minutes to talk, and talk. You got right to the subject. Very refreshing. Thanks.
-
I wish all the times I've done an embarrassingly poor job of securing loads that I could go back and redo them with this newfound knowledge
-
Most of trucks knot are so complicated but you. Thanks Brandon
