fun video not much help
this is a simple and easy version
Love the trucker's hitch, I use it all the time.
first off: what the hell is wrong with that guy in the first video ... lol
secondly - i don't think those are "true" truckers hitches
I do use the first version - in the second video: That is what i use to secure my cat to trailer, (and my forestay to my Portuguese turnbuckle, and a million other places) with the exception i finish it with rolling hitches vs 1/2 hitches. 1/2hitches can vibrate free, rolling hitches get tighter with stress and movement (although still able to untie without too much work)
this is what i "Think" is the actual truckers hitch

Good stuff. You truly learn something new every day!

This is a great knot for sailors
One of my favorite knots, as it achieves ratchet strap tension. I am sort of a knot-knerd!
Ditto on one of my favorite knots being the truckers hitch.
Learned it from brother in law, who was former trucker and couldn't believe I went 30 years as sailor and didn't know it before he showed me.
