So, I always see these things on semis... and in trucking warehouses. The fuck are they, and what are they for?

"5th wheel pull hook"

I saw them packaged in a truck stop as "Happy Un-Hookers", if you can believe that. |

Also works to extend your reach, when straps tossed over to secure load, have failed to make it over the edge of load. Also handy when tossing and securing canvas and poly tarps over load. And if you hold it out the driver's window by the hook end it makes a great mallet for impromptu games of trucker polo down at the truck stop! |

Brought to you by the same clever marketing people that came up with the word "blinkers" for lights to use before turning. |

Very handy for pulling the release handle on the trailer tandems (axles) to allow shifting their position for properly balancing the trailer weight. That ensures you will be legal when you pass through any weigh stations along your route. Of course, if you're stuck with an old POS trailer, you need a crowbar and a length of chain to pull out some of the rusted, crusty tandem release handles found on that old junk I had a 4 foot long, 1 inch square bar that I used. I would pivot the bar on the side of the trailer to pull the chain I ran between the bar and the handle. And I bent that MF-er about 20 degrees on one of the old POS Wabash trailers we hauled. I have one of the Happy Hookers left over from my trucking days, and I use it to move ammo cans around underneath the bed I have them stashed under. |

The asshat driving down the road behind them making a video at 60plus MPH 
It's the only common denominator.

You can't pass on the left like a normal human being? Through driving in the center lane allows vehicles to enter and exit the highway more safely. |
