    New Guy Question

    Hey guys, just signed up. Been PT for 1.5 years and just started full time ground a week ago. Got a quick question. I have been told to read the Safety 24/7 book at home and write a summary of it. Can they make me do this without pay? Other drivers said they did it on the clock a few years ago.
