There is much better knots to use that dont need a knife to undo when they get wet. If any of my drivers used a knot like that they would be sacked.

Most of the drivers I ever knew carried different lengths of rope. So what, you only haul one size load all the time? What kind of truck do you drive Tommy boy? Who said anything about cutting rope?

Plus, tying a knot in the rope means having to untie it, often with the help of some pointed object to untie a tight knot. The correct way is still the half-sheepshank. Use two hitches to make more secure. Show me a trucker who will cut his rope – he has different size loads.

However, the video INCORRECTLY shows how to do this. It shows the person making the loop then taking the end of the rope and feeding it through. If he were a trucker, his rope would be very long, and pulling several hundred feet through the loop would take a long time. Sorry to hear about your brother, but the reasons cannot be solely on the knot - several factors come into play when a load falls. Secure if properly made, used by many truckers and use it myself.
