Suppose \(\alpha\) is an orientation preserving diffeomorphism (shift) of \(\mathbb{R}_+=(0,\infty)\) onto itself with the only fixed points \(0\) and \(\infty\). We establish sufficient conditions for the Fredholmness of the singular integral operator with shift \[ (aI-bW_\alpha)P_++(cI-dW_\alpha)P_- \] acting on \(L^p(\mathbb{R}_+)\) with \( 1 < p < \infty \), where \(P_\pm=(I\pm S)/2\), \(S\) is the Cauchy singular integral operator, and \(W_\alpha f=f\circ\alpha\) is the shift operator, under the assumptions that the coefficients \(a,b,c,d\) and the derivative \(\alpha'\) of the shift are bounded and continuous on \(\mathbb{R}_+\) and may admit discontinuities of slowly oscillating type at \(0\) and \(\infty\).
