First of all Happy Thanksgiving! Anyways I recently got a new Freightliner from my company yesterday. It's a great truck with only 200 miles on it,but there's a one problem. The mirror mounts are too large to mount my SiriusXm antenna. Are there other options in mounting my antenna outside my truck without drilling a holes? Any suggestion will help,as I can't live without my radio on the road. Thank you, Excelso(Sal)

There are several quick release mounts that slip seat drivers use which you could clamp onto the mirror. Most are basically a plate mounted to vice grips. You mount your antenna to the plate the clamp the vice grips to the mirror arm.

I have seen several but one drivers really caught my eye. When I asked him about it he said he really liked it and had used it for years. It is made of stainless steel so hadn't rusted at all in all those years.

I am pretty sure it was THIS ONE.

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
