    American Central Transport (ACT) announced that it will increase pay for drivers who install cameras in their trucks by two cents per mile.

    ACT has been working to outfit its fleet with Lytx DriveCam since February. So far, about half of their 390 trucks have the cameras.

    The pay increase does not mean that the drive cams are optional — drivers cannot opt out of the cameras and the pay increase.

    But as soon as the DriveCam is installed drivers will start earning the extra two cents per mile.

    The announcement was made at a company-wide picnic. ACT says that immediately after the announcement, at least 6 drivers asked to have the cameras installed to start earning the extra money.

    It'd take a hell of a lot more than $0.02/mile to get me to stay with a company that wants to put a camera facing the driver in a truck they expect me to drive...it only works out to an extra $40-$60/week...chump change. Pay me an extra $20/mile and I might consider it...anything less, and you can take that camera and give yourself a colonoscopy.
