The trucker's hitch is a compound knot commonly used for securing loads on trucks [7] or trailers. The general arrangement, using loops and turns in the rope itself to form a crude block and tackle , has long been used to tension lines and is known by multiple names.
The adjustable loop forms of the rolling hitch and Magnus hitch, in addition to being called either of those two names, have also come to be known variously as the taut-line hitch, [3] tent-line hitch, [3] rigger's hitch, [3] adjustable hitch, [5] or midshipman's hitch. [5] These knots are generally shown as being based on one of three ...

The sheepshank has a single half hitch at each end. The trucker's hitch can be tied with a single half hitch too, which works ok for low tensions in stiff ropes.

[6] When it is made in flat material in the manner used to fasten a necktie, the working end is brought more parallel to the standing part during tightening than generally seen when made in cylindrical cordage for load-bearing purposes.
The boom hitch is a type of knot. It is a rather robust and secure method of attaching a line, or rope to a fixed object like a pipe, post, or sail boom. [1] It can be finished with a slip, that is, a bight tucked under rather than the whole line pulled through in the last step. This will make it easier to untie. A diagram of the Boom Hitch
