What Causes Shaking/jerking In Legs While Sitting Or Walking?

My 65 year old husband describes his legs as shaking. This happen at night but also during day, while sitting or walking. He does drive about 120miles/day, 5 days a week to work. Could this have anything to do with it? He also has jerking of his feet at night (sometimes) about every 10 seconds.
