At least in California, the rope that they are using isn't even legal to
use for loads on the highway.
The knot shown is a typical trucker's hitch (a variation of the
sheepshank). And unless double looped at the top, has the potential of
slipping. We use a much simpler, faster, and more secure hitch. I'll have
to film it one of these days.
