New Job Application - Must I Disclose Citation?

I am a new driver and have been driving for a company pulling a 39' dump trailer hauling coal. A few weeks ago, the boss asked me to take a truck and trailer already loaded to Rome, GA. The first scales I come to I get pulled in to the scale lane and am told to pull around and park and bring in my paperwork. The truck is overweight on the trailer axles. I am issued a citation and the company has to pay an assessment to the state. I have court yesterday and the judge dismissed the charge against me. I am starting with a new company next week and am asking if there is a need to disclose this overweight citation since it was dismissed. I have a spotless driving history and this is the only ticket I've ever had. I have been told to never keep anything from the company you are going to work for. Do I need to tell them about this citation?

 

The part that concerns me is the fact that the company had to pay an assessment to the state and I assume that documentation probably has the drivers name on it. Just don't want that to turn up somewhere and make it look like I was hiding something. I my case yesterday it was dismissed and I was not even charged court costs.

 

Would something like this ever show up on a DAC report even though the charge was dismissed, but the company still had the assessment?

 

I think I'll just tell them about it and not worry. I see no way it can show up on my driving record because it was dismissed and will not be reported to the state. I just would not want to make it look like I was trying to hide something.
