The best tutorial of both knots on UA-cam by far. Easy. No waffling. To the point. Camera steady and zoned where it has to be. 10/10 mate. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ✔✔✔✔✔ 👍👍👍👍👍
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'
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.
He’s basically tying it upside down. Starting by going under and over instead of over and under. If you were to start by going over, once you get done the knot will turn over which makes it look funky. I don’t know if it’s less efficient, less secure, a law, etc. but it makes more sense using this method no matter the type of hitch you use, especially if you have a load rail
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.
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.
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
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.
Demonstration purposes. This guy works for a truck driving school business in an Aussie state jurisdiction where this old (and in some respects dying) skill is still a basic requirement of passing the basic light truck drivers licence.
I must say I never use it on the road as a company driver, but I always come back here to remember how to use it around the home lol. It is a great knot and is a snatch block in a rope. You can put two loops in them and have a double snatch block in a rope. They're a great thing and they instantly come loose.
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.
Roman Dybala Now here's an idiot that has no idea that this video was made in another country. Maybe the accent wasn't clear enough. Oh...wait.... he is living in his own micro zone. Toss !

Wait on smacurface, what Roman said is perfectly true and applies to all countries. The video, which is excellent by the way, made the mistake of mentioning the left hand side of the truck. The video lost its internationalisation credentials at that point. The rest of it was perfect.
Actually it wasn’t perfect, and Roman is even more correct. The video said: “the driver’s side, or near side, of the truck.” The whole point of the safety sub-lesson was to discriminate between the traffic side and the curb side of the truck.
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.
This might be a legacy variation from the days of more generally grippy natural fibre ropes I'd say. Either way, think with the prevalence of tie down straps these days, less and less people can do any variation - it's why I'm here!
I learned this way of tying a truckers hitch a long time ago and use it often. You are correct in that it can slip with different types of rope. One way that I have found works with some nylon ropes is to simply make a 3rd loop behind the second one and pull down. I’m not suggesting it is necessarily correct but it is a solution that I have found works well. Cheers
The knot is designed to easily come undone after the strain is taken off the loops made over the byte. It wasn’t demonstrated in the video but once the clove hitch is released and the tension is taken off you simply give the rope a flick and pull downward and the knot is gone. Coil it up and you’re away.
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.

Yeah bloody hell I watched like 20 videos just to find something as simple as this. Cheers cobber
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.
Great explanation, and so smooth. Thanks, good job. Plus, I love the bonus stowing tips at the end.
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
omg I got my HC licence from you guys many years ago , I drove the old V8 Merc , thanks had many jobs ,

Jesus what a snowflake… get over it
Harden up mate
Great “handshake” tip for the clove hitch!
Awesome video. You really made this clear and simple. Thanks for the upload
THE Best truckies hitch.
The best! No bullshit and trying to be a comedian. A real pro!
Excellent tutorial 👍
Brilliant j I’ve just got to try and get muscle memory thanks watching from north west England
its good to see someone taken their time out to show how its done ..well done
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.
Tying all knots on the left hand side of the vehicle.... Simple and brilliant
Champion, well done, nice and easy
the only clip on youtube that shows the real way to tie down a load
How good is that bloke. Love him
Bay example on UA-cam, cheers mate
Thank you for your valuable and interesting video! Great job!
Good job. Simple and easy to understand.
While I’ve known how to tie a clove hitch for many moons, the technique shown is efficient and good to know. Good video!

What a sensational video, thank you so much
Yes, a good Aussie Truckie's knot! Not like those pansy slipknot things. I've been practising on my husband and the trailer :D
Aaaaaargh7 ya why keep it simple?
He’s a New Zealander. So, “Kiwi truckers hitch”. An Aussie trying to hitch a ride on Kiwi skills…. Whoever heard?
@@stevemcdonald471 It's in Australia. Didn't you have your fush and chups (or is that chups and fush) this morning?
Great video, thanks for sharing :)
❤️ from india 🇮🇳
nicely done mate.
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!!!
Cool stuff nice 1 m8
well taught, thank you!
thanks ,this is useful and nice
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.
Pretty sure this guy's a Kiwi.
@@danielnethery1091 The Aussies tend to claim the good Kiwis as their own ;)
Yup, too right!
The slip knot method is great for ridge lines or tying down smaller stuff. For heavy loads, the beehive or double shank are the best options
@@danielnethery1091pretty sure he’s in Macquarie Queensland and doing a Truckie hitch to Australian standards.
Excellent!
does this work with poly rope?
Nice video sir

Thanks now I can do it
Cheers for showing us to tie down is where I get stuck

Great truckie knot tutorial tho.. its well explained at a nice comfortable pace.. good job mate
Noticed he is tying the clove hitch upside down, where the short end is coming out the bottom. Any explanation on that?
Thank you
for making this video :)
Gotta like the Kiwi accent.
Nice and useful
Thanks mate
Excellent
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.
Depending on the load,
How big are the tie down points? If the anchors are small it could be difficult
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...

I must say I never use it on the road as a company driver, but I always come back here to remember how to use it around the home lol.

1:48 a double loop around there is safer and stops you needing to pinch the rope to hold tension
Awesome
Nice.
Am I fucked in the head. I always forget this like a day after I learnt it? lol.
Me too. I never use useful knots enough to remember them.
Thanks
Straight to the hitch part 1:17. Rope Stowage technique 2:30
nice veteran
The drivers side is the far side. The gutter side is the near side.

Actually the driver's side is the "offside" and the passenger or gutter is the near side.
can you show me how to untie it
cheers mate

i found it straight forward

I have been using this method for 40 years on all types of rope and it's never failed
It is not safely. Including first clove hitch, wich you had to secure by adding half hitch.
I think it’s more secure to put the half hitch around the rail instead of the rope, but either one works
