I talked to my mother about this since my father was a truck driver for almost 30 years and she said that the most important thing is to have trust, she said that if she sat at home and worried all the time it would have made her sick, she kept busy with us kids and around the house, this was back in the days before cell phones and laptops, so she had to make due with weekly phone calls from dad from a pay phone,
it is very hard on a young family, but she always stayed strong for us kids, we never ever saw her crying, my dad was often gone weeks at a time, and sometimes dad would have to be away on a certain holiday so we would celebrate on a different day when he got back,
as far as your kids they will get used to him being gone, we never thought anything about our dad being gone, we just knew that dad was a trucker and that was his job
I don't know whether your husbands company allows passengers, but if it does after he is done training, why not go with him one time, it may ease your fears, and may help you to understand his job, and being in contact with him on the phone or laptop a couple of times a day may ease his fears about you
