Abstract: A truck bed handle apparatus including an elongated body, a central stop portion and a top cross portion. The elongated body extends from a proximal end to a distal end. The elongated body defines a lower pocket portion and an upper handle portion. The central stop portion is spaced apart from each of the proximal end and distal end. The central stop portion has a lower face that is structurally configured to interface with a pocket opening on a truck upon insertion of the lower pocket portion thereinto, so as to limit further insertion. The top cross portion is positioned between the central stop portion and the distal end.
