Hey guys, saw this thing a few weeks ago and was wondering what your opinions on it are. It looks like something from Resident Evil to me, but maybe it could actually be functional? What do you guys think?

It's smaller than what it looks in that picture. I'm not crazy about the curve of that but, but it is a multi tool, not an axe. Looks interesting.

Can't imagine what a trucker would need that for. Maybe to chop up a tree or particularly large branch that has fallen/been blown onto the road?

The USA-made Trucker's Friend is an all-purpose tool, built tough and specifically designed to meet the needs of professional truck drivers. But it's so much more. In any situation that requires hacking, prying, pulling or pounding, you will feel real peace of mind with this serious tool on board. The Trucker’s Friend is backed by a no-hassle Lifetime Replacement Guarantee.
A durable, powerful multitool
The Trucker's Friend features a Shock-Absorbing PowerGrip on the non-conducting fiberglass handle for easy handling. The head is a cast alloy steel blade and shank that's been heat-treated for extra strength, with a rust-resistant matte finish. A temporary blade guard is included to help prevent potential accidents when not in use.

FWIW, in my previous life I was a trucker and have experience in hauling machinery, steel, pipe, crates of who knows what, various fuels, industrial chemicals, wood chips, logs, lumber, grain, etc., etc. General freight, and refrigerated items, is about all I have not had experience with at one time or another. Did this for about 25 + years. I can only see two reasonable uses for this thing: either to pry a nail out of a tire or the wood deck of a trailer, or assault someone. Other than that it is worthless. JMHO, YMMV.
