The present invention provides a carrying rack for transporting sporting or work equipment over a truck bed. The carrying rack utilizes the space above the truck bed so the truck bed may be enclosed with a tonneau or hard shell cover. The carrying rack is mounted to the truck bed so the cover may be removed or raised without removing the entire carrying rack. The carrying rack includes removable cross members that are attached when in use. The removable cross members include mounts for attaching equipment such as bicycles, skis, kayaks, ladders, or other types of equipment. The carrying rack allows the truck bed space to be used for other purposes while transporting sporting or other equipment.
