    . Chuck seems to be a little truck with big dreams. He aspires to be a race truck. His parents are Haulie and Porter. His older brother is Rally. He seems to have various friends. Chuck tries to be the best friend he can be, though he can sometimes be selfish. For example, in "Lights, Camera, Trucks", he repeatedly stops a film production in order to get it perfect. Also, in "Fender Bender", when he accidentally gets injured by Boomer, he takes advantage of Boomer in order to get out of cleaning his room. It is revealed in one episode that he is great at racing on paved roads. He often uses the phrase "Red-hot turbo chargers!" He, along with his friends, chant the phrase "Friends for the long haul."

  • Boomer - Boomer is a fire truck. He is one of Chuck's friends. Boomer seems to have a gut feeling that a plan might not work. This is seen whenever he voices his opinion that he is not sure about something. He also seems to be the most loyal to Chuck. This is seen in "Fender Bender", when, although Chuck had a minor injury, he tended to Chuck.
  • Flip - Flip is a new friend of Chuck. As his name indicates, he is a stunt truck that flips. He has two sides: one that allows his to speed, and one that allows his to manuveur around obstacles. He was introduced in "The Big Air Dare." Although he is competitive with Chuck, he turns out to be a caring friend who hates to see Chuck endangered. He is probably part of the regular cast of characters since he also appears in a Season 2 episode. While he still retains his competitive attitude, he is one of the three main characters that lost his first voice actor.
  • Haulie - Haulie is Chuck's mom. As her name indicates, she is a forklift. She runs a repair center.
  • Porter - Porter is Chuck's father. As his name indicates, he is a big rig. He runs a retail store. He is one of the three characters that lost his first voice actor.

  • Rally - Rally is Chuck's brother. As his name indicates, he is a racing truck. He seems to be quite successful. Unlike most sibling pairs, Chuck enjoys his brother, eventhough he is famous. Chuck seems to look up to his older brother and, instead of get jealous, aspire to be a racing truck like him. Rally's motto is "Over, around, and through, trucks go and see and do." This is sometimes repeated by Chuck to his friend, like in episodes such as "The Pothole".
