On this edition of Straight Up 5 With Todd McGill, Todd and Rad Rob welcome one of the most integral and influential Brunswick Bowling employees of all time, "Chuck on the Truck" Chuck Gardner to the show!
Chuck Gardner, widely known in the bowling community as "Chuck on the Truck," is a prominent professional bowler, coach, and longtime representative for Brunswick Bowling Products. In August 2026, Brunswick announced that Gardner retired from his full-time role after nearly two decades with the company, though he continues to serve Brunswick in a reduced capacity. Gardner joined Brunswick Bowling Products in 2007 as a Southeast Product Specialist.
Over his tenure, his roles expanded significantly: • Pro Staff Tour Representative: He spent 12 years as the Coaching and Pro Staff Manager, supporting professional bowlers on the PBA and PWBA Tours directly from the equipment truck. • Special Events Manager: In 2022, he transitioned into managing special events, pioneering the Brunswick Youth Experience, a program dedicated to engaging and supporting junior bowlers regardless of their skill level.
Founded by Chuck and his wife Deborah in 2013, the Bowl4Life Foundation is focused on growing youth bowling. Through initiatives like the Brunswick Youth Experience partnership, the foundation has awarded over $858,000 in youth scholarships.
Gardner's deep impact on the sport has earned him several major industry honors: • South Carolina USBC Hall of Fame (Inducted in October 2025) • Billiard & Bowling Institute of America (BBIA) Industry Service Award (2026) • United States Bowling Congress (USBC) Alberta E. Crowe Meritorious Service Award (2022) • PBA Tony Reyes Community Service Award (2019)
