The metallic body of trucks gets charged due friction between them and the air rushing past them
This charge being large can produce a spark (it may)
And this is dangerous
So they have metal chain dragging along the ground
The charges produced pass to the ground through the chain
Even nowadays tyres contain some carbon compounds in their rubber which makes the produced charges leak to the ground

During motion,
The body of the vehicle gets charged due to friction of air. The tyres also accumulate the charge due to friction between the tyres and the road.
Due to charge accumulation inflammable materials inside the vehicle may catch fire.
So, to avoid this, the accumulated charge is made to flow from body to the ground through metallic ropes.
