The early big trucks were stuck with chain drive, in part, due to metalurgy. The shafts turning the driving sprockets didn't have anywhere near the stress that is placed on direct drive axle shafts. The metal just wasn't strong enough to carry the torque load directly to the driving wheels.

Am I making sense? Maybe not.
Have a nice day.
