    Does anyone know the slang term for the pole that is attached to the frame in the back of the tractor that held the light cord. Don't know if they still use them but years ago they all had them if you had any kind of spread between the tractor and trailer.

    Thanks

    That's what I have known them by all these years too. If your looking for a new one, I know Truck Pro always sold them.

    Officially a Hosetenna. Most people will know what you're talking about when you say pogo stick though.
