Yes, that is true. Unless your husband was already a professional truck driver, truck driving school is not deductible. According to IRS Topic No. 513:
To be deductible, your expenses must be for education that (1) maintains or improves skills needed in your present work or (2) a law requires to keep your present salary, status or job. However, even if the education meets either of these tests, the education can't be part of a program that will qualify you for a new trade or business or that you need to meet the minimal educational requirements of your present trade or business.
