    New owner Op. Was curious if I need to report a warning to my insurance for closed road/ failing to observe a sign or markings?
    Again it's a warning not a citation and should I tell the company I'm leased to? Will it go on my driving record?

    Warnings go against your CDL just like a regular ticket. It will eventually show up. Always ask a lawyer about any tickets.

    If there’s no inspection tied to it then you don’t have to tell the carrier.

    There was another thread posted last week about a similar situation, nothing on the report and next thing he knows, he’s getting ding for the warning.

    A ding? Mind being more specific?
    And I had no citation or inspection.

    Because I’ve gotten overweight tickets that weren’t tied to an inspection and I always just paid them.

    And since you got a warning and no inspection then it’s really no different than getting a warning in your personal car.

    DOT inspections give a copy to submit to the carrier.

    Some DOT guys have figured out that a warning for a violation of a local statute on an inspection report ends up on the driver's PSP but a normal officer giving a warning does not show on your MVR.
