To ask him to change his job

My husband is a taxi driver, owns his own cab, works nights as that is where the best money is.

He was dong this when we met 10 years ago we have been married 4 years.
His job has completely dominated our relationship. We dont spend much time together , or go out evenings or weekends and haven't been on holiday since our honeymoon.
Sometimes he earns good money, sometimes he doesn't, and I'm constantly worried about the cab breaking down.
Added to this he is diabetic, I am worried about his health he is always tired and doesn't eat well or regularly.

This coming year he will have to renew his cab, take out a loan for 25-30,000 (we have no savings). Which will mean working even longer hours to pay off the loan and therefore less money for Bill's etc.
I am desperate for him to change jobs, he could easily get a driving job in the day time but he hates change. Since I brought up how unhappy I was a couple of days ago he says he wants to but has been very moody. How do I get him to understand that I dont want things to continue this way?

YANBU if it's possible for him to get a new job. It's not always that easy! But I agree he should definitely be trying to make that change for his health.
