About a week ago I was talking to a guy in a resturant parking lot who showed me his XM radio. I told him I drive along ways to work and I've got some stations set for home and some stations set for the town I work in. My father - in -Law was a trucker and use to complain about losing his station half way throught a game or another program. This would have been ideal for him, and all truckers. Why don't I see more of these XM antennas on 18 wheelers?

Not seeing those XM antennas on truckers because most of them prefer Sirius.

Not sure if "2" qualifies to be stated as "all" instead of as "both," but ok nonetheless. I work for the State Patrol and most of the truckers I have stopped have Sirius and seem to dig the "truckers" channel.

Hi, I'm a long haul trucker from Canada and I have a Sirius radio in my truck. I bought this radio in Dallas, Texas at the Flying J truck stop on IH20 exit 472. I've taken my radio with me all across the US and Canada and I've never had a problem with it. The radio's been with me to Florida, California, Seattle and New York. My last trip was across northern and western Canada from Toronto, Ontario to Calgary, Alberta and Vancouver, BC. I don't know why truckers don't all have a satellite radio.....they sure don't know what they're missing. Too bad for them. Thanks Sirius
P.S.: almost bought an XM radio but Stern convinced me not to :)
