The anchoring assembly includes a mounting assembly portion secured to the flatbed of the vehicle. The mounting assembly is adapted to fixedly mount a vertical support member. A vertically adjustable jaw portion is provided which is engageable with the vertical support member. The jaw portion includes upper and lower jaw plate members which define a gap between the members and each plate member includes complementary elongated aligned openings. A pin member is inserted through the elongated aligned openings to fixedly secure the vehicle's hitch plate to the anchoring assembly.
