The top is formed into a "U" shape while the bottom is formed into an "L" shape. The bottom has an opening through which a bolt is inserted which passes into the bed of the truck to secure the first clamping apparatus to the truck. The Cart has an axle which is attached to a pair of wheels. The first clamping apparatus "U" shaped end is adapted to mate with the cart axil. A second clamping apparatus is attached to the bed of the vehicle. The second clamping apparatus has a central locking portion and has a handle attached to the locking portion. An end portion is likewise attached to the end portion so that when the handle is lifted, for example, the clamp will be unlocked and the end portion will be lifted. When the handle is lowered, the end portion will also be lowered with the clamp in a locking position. The end portion has an end configured to pass over a rear portion of the cart clamping the cart in a secured position on the vehicle bed, keeping the cart from forward, rearward, up or down, forward or rearward movement during transportation.
