    driving company (local) truck last night got pulled over for going a little fast coming into a town, was getting ready to slow but the cop was right at the beginning of the town. He was nice enough to give me a warning but what happens now? Does my employer get notified? Do I get in trouble?

    No. Nothing hits your record or your employer's insurance company. Just thank whoever it is that you say grace to and don't let this be the beginning of a trend.

    How fast was you going?I believe your company will be notified so rather letting them find out from the officer that gave you the warning just tell your employer what exactly happened otherwise your company will think you tried hiding it.If you wasn't going too fast all your company will do is give you a probationary period for like 90 days or so before it drops.In the future don't be in such a hurry.

    Depends on insurance, some insurance companies watch for these.

    I have had no problem in not reporting a warning to companies, but if they want to be informed or else, as company policy, I would.
