Quick thing. I am an avid hiker. I know a lot of knots. If there is one knot I had to tell someone to go learn it's the "Trucker's Hitch."
How the hell are you going to make that statement and not even provide a link?!
What you linked will work as a truckers hitch, but that's not a trucker's hitch.

How come there are two links in this thread and none of them are this one?
I should have checked yours before I also posted!
Incidentally, that put me off learning the trucker's hitch until completely unconnected a friend showed me the hitch very simply. Now it's one of my favourite.
I also assumed until half way through the song...
That it was going to be a sappy love song about how he doesn't know how to 'tie the knot'Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

What makes the trucker's hitch particularly useful?
It's a slip knot that you can use like a ratchet strap.
