Do you have a Schema or DTD for this document type?

Line 1 Position 3 should be the "x" in <?xml unless the parser is
taking the XML Declaration as not being part of the document, in
which case it's the first "r" of <TruckTrax. Either way I'd say
your software is hosed, or there's something else you haven't
shown us.

In cases like this, *always* test the file standalone, well away from
any "environment" like .NET or an IDE,  using any of the recognised 
commandline parsers or validators.
