Open Road is a trucker's talk radio channel on the XM Satellite Radio service. The subjects cover those relevant to the trucking community, be it politics, economics, or social issues. Open Road's program director is Ken Johnson.

Open Road features talent from the America's Trucking Radio network, including Bill Mack, Dave Nemo, and Truckin' Bozo Dale Sommers. It also plays a daily, one-hour long program called Land Line Now, brought to the listeners by OOIDA. America's Trucking Network, hosted by Steve Sommers, previously held the overnight slot on this channel (dating back to the days when Dale himself hosted the show in this slot) until ATN's flagship station WLW began simulcasting on XM.

Prior to October 2007, the overnights were filled with non-trucker programming (namely, replays of Dave Ramsey and a tape delay of Online Tonight with David Lawrence) so as to protect America's Trucking Network from competition. However, beginning 2007-10-08, the Midnight Radio Network, hosted by Eric Harley, assumed the overnight slot from 1-6 AM eastern time. The show was carried on Sirius' Road Dog Trucking until the show was dropped without warning in September 2007.

Dave Ramsey will continue to be heard on XM 165, but David Lawrence, who had been a part of XM Satellite Radio's lineup since 2002, and at one point even had his own channel with replays all day, will no longer be heard on XM. Segmented replays of ATBS Trucking Business and Beyond will be heard weeknights from 12-1 AM.
