I would definetly conduct inhouse training for the benefit of all employees, using this example as a good learning lesson. Commend the driver in public for not causing an accident. And then talk about other alternatives. By commending the driver in public for not causing an accident which potentially could have been disasterous, you will help to alleviate any guilt he may be feeling about damaging your vehicle. As already stated, there should not be any consequences for this driver. If this was a habitual problem it would be your fault for letting him continuing to drive your trucks.
As for training, I'd vote for a commercial driving type class. The defensive driving course at the speedway, albeit fun, would most likely not be the best option. I'd save it for the wife/kids, etc. I don't think you'd want to send the wrong message to the employee about driving your trucks while sitting in a car on a "race" course whether they're in race cars or not. I would think a truck/trailer type driving school would be in good order. And would cover the material that is more related to what you're dealing with than would a passenger car driving course.
