Claim:
A truck cargo-moving tool comprising: an elongated extendable arm having a proximal end and a distal end and having at least two telescopically connected substantially rigid coaxial tubes with diameters in a predetermined range, wherein said proximal end has a diameter greater than said distal end; a substantially rigid head having two faces, at least one substantially flat edge less than one-inch wide, a blunt heel, and an arcuate toe having a tangent line forming an angle less than 80 degrees to axis of said extendable rod, said blunt heel having a substantially rectangular surface with a width substantially equal to that of said two faces, and said two faces are adjacent along the entire said flat edge; a connection means engageable with said distal end of said elongated extendable arm and substantially perpendicular to said head proximal said heel for forming said truck cargo tool for pushing and pulling items resting on a horizontal surface; and at least one locking means in contact with surfaces of said at least two coaxial tubes for securing said coaxial tubes at a selectable overall length within a predetermined range.
