    I can't see how that would possibly end poorly.

    Technically nothing illegal about him driving it, would hate to see those insurance rates though.

    As long as your friend has carrier authority and is insured, there should be no problem. Easier said than done though, unless your friend has about $20K in cash. Because that's close to what it will cost to get authority and insurance on a truck and driver with no experience.
