If the owner of the truck allowed an unlicensed driver to take the truck, then the owner is responsible - even if the driver lied about where he was going. If the unlicensed driver just took the truck, then a police report would need to be filed and charges pressed against that person - he can be sued for damages.

If an unlicensed driver was driving your vehicle and got in an accident and totaled it will the insurance pay?
It depends on the conditions of your policy. If there is a clear stipulation that it will not cover any unlicensed drivers, or any drivers not specifically listed for that matter then no they won't pay. If such a condition is not specified and coverage is unconditional (in that respect) then they probably will. Assuming the person survived, and was not taken to jail it is doubtful they would be civily liable for the damages to another victims car (if applicable) hence the policy owner who's name is on the title is ultimately liable.
If you have full insurance on your car and it is totaled by an unlicensed driver what happens with your insurance and payments for the car?
If this unlicensed driver was driving your car with your knowledge, you are screwed. But if you mean an unlicensed driver hit your car, if you have full coverage you should be able to collect on your insurance. The insurance will make the check to the leinholder and they will give you any excess or expect you to make up any shortage to pay off the loan. In some cases, if you did give permission for the uninsured driver, your insurance company will pay for the loss but make you sign an exclusion stating that the driver will not be covered in the future for any reason. You would be liable for full cost if it happens again. You can also expect a spike in your rates if they reside with you.
