As an old truckie myself this is the best demo of tying down a load that I've seen so far, that is what I call the proper truckies knot.

The best tutorial of both knots on KZfaq by far. Easy. No waffling. To the point. Camera steady and zoned where it has to be. 10/10 mate. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ✔✔✔✔✔ 👍👍👍👍👍

No pun intended, I definitely would shake your hand for the demonstration of the truckie's hitch. Excellent stuff.

Truckies do make the best truckies hitch tutorials. 10/10 my man.

Excellent video. Easy to follow, good descriptions and no shit. Keep up the good work and thank you.

Every dad needs to watch this when holidays are coming.

By far the best video on this knot

Great explanation, and so smooth. Thanks, good job. Plus, I love the bonus stowing tips at the end.

THE Best truckies hitch.

omg I got my HC licence from you guys many years ago , I drove the old V8 Merc , thanks had many jobs ,

Awesome video. You really made this clear and simple. Thanks for the upload

The best! No bullshit and trying to be a comedian. A real pro!

Thank you for your valuable and interesting video! Great job!

Excellent video. Simple to understand. Thanks

Good job. Simple and easy to understand.

Thanks for this video. Due to severe trauma of my father trying to teach me 30 years ago I have been unable and certainly unwilling to learn this knot but now I have to and this explanation made it much better than 'now just grab it, tie around here and pull on it for fuck sakes'

its good to see someone taken their time out to show how its done ..well done

What a sensational video, thank you so much

the only clip on youtube that shows the real way to tie down a load

At last somebody who like myself ties a proper truckers hitch,i am sick to death of seeing slip knots and long winded figure eight and everything else in between.

Great video, thanks for sharing :)

How good is that bloke. Love him

Great “handshake” tip for the clove hitch!

Tying all knots on the left hand side of the vehicle.... Simple and brilliant

nicely done mate.

Champion, well done, nice and easy

Cool stuff nice 1 m8

One thing is that I would tighten up that clove hitch up before doing the half hitch as it would be easier to undo. Great video! Thanks for sharing.

BEST VIDEO OUT THERE!!!

Brilliant j I’ve just got to try and get muscle memory thanks watching from north west England

While I’ve known how to tie a clove hitch for many moons, the technique shown is efficient and good to know. Good video!

Excellent tutorial 👍

Bay example on KZfaq, cheers mate

thanks ,this is useful and nice

well taught, thank you!

Excellent!

Yes, a good Aussie Truckie's knot! Not like those pansy slipknot things. I've been practising on my husband and the trailer :D

Thanks now I can do it

Nice video sir

❤️ from india 🇮🇳

Nice and useful

Thank you

Thanks mate

Excellent

Thanks

It seems only the Aussies and the Brits do a truckers hitch correctly, everyone else starts with a slipknot that can bind up afterward and be difficult to undo.

does this work with poly rope?

Awesome

wow nice👏👏👏👍👍👍

Nice.

Learning how to do the truckie hitch for my test to get my HR licence as I failed my 1st attempt as I couldn't do the rope properly as I haven't done a truckie hitch on a rope b4 I went to do my 1st lesson.

Cheers for showing us to tie down is where I get stuck

Thank you.Well done.

Not picking at all... but the nearest chain setup at the beginning of the video.... one of the chains are not seated in its upper position.....its sitting down, probably need a knock with your bar to seat it higher into the corner.. then all good... Great truckie knot tutorial tho.. its well explained at a nice comfortable pace.. good job mate

Gotta like the Kiwi accent.

Had to look this up, the knot we use at work, but my knots are always upside or back to front. Yeah, I don't know how it happens, but it still works. I want to practice the proper way, that the guys don't look at my knots trying to work what I've done.

Hi, Thanks for the video.... I have a question... Why would you need to tie the load down with ropes when you have the chains...

1:48 a double loop around there is safer and stops you needing to pinch the rope to hold tension

cheers mate

Straight to the hitch part 1:17. Rope Stowage technique 2:30

Noticed he is tying the clove hitch upside down, where the short end is coming out the bottom. Any explanation on that?

nice veteran

can you use this knot if you only have tie down points inside the truck bed? most of the videos show it tying down to a straight rod outside the bed. My truck has tie points inside only and no rod down the length of the bed.

The drivers side is the far side. The gutter side is the near side.

Am I fucked in the head. I always forget this like a day after I learnt it? lol.

Macquarie driving school's website, there are another 2 methods

Buen video . Int 1: 23 min

can you show me how to untie it

This is a weird variation of an actual Truckie's hitch---a real one uses a Half-Hitch on a bight like in a sheepshank---here you're simply wrapping the line around the bight (not a half-hitch!) once, then a second wrap behind it, hoping the second wrap holds the whole thing from collapsing---but it DOES collapse every time I do it this way with smooth rope. I suspect it only grabs here because of the ROUGH rope you're using. Use a real Truckie hitch, and to secure it from collapsing, half-hitch the upper bight around the standing line. This acts as a stopper knot that keeps the lower half-hitch from collapsing.

It is not safely. Including first clove hitch, wich you had to secure by adding half hitch.
