I looked up truckers hitch. It’s a slide show, even on YouTube.
I learned that knot differently, and wonder if mine has a different name.

I think "Trucker's Hitch" refers generally to any setup where you tie a midline loop, then use it like a pulley and tie off the free end. There are several different ways of doing the loop knot and the ending knot, with their own names on their own, but Trucker's Hitch refers to the overall setup.
My favorite is the Versatackle Knot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versatackle_knot
