Hauling cars isn't the hard part. Figuring out all the state and federal regulations for hauling is the hard part! Hauling "under the table" is getting harder and harder to do, as transport brokers and website now verify DOT and insurance before allowing a carrier to accept a load (and rightfully so!). Also by the time he factors in his $1-million liability policy, and commercial registration fees including weight-mile tax in some states, it probably won't earn as much as he thinks. It can be profitable to do full time if you cover lots of miles and manage to find back-haul loads. It probably won't earn much extra income for a part-timer, but could be enough to subsidize traveling if that's what he's looking to do.
