Road Warrior’s Journey: Biography of Stavan Facey
Born on May 10, 1991, in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, Stavan Facey grew up along the Space Coast, where the hum of engines and call of the ocean shaped his adventurous soul. From tinkering with his dad’s old Chevy as a teen to earning his CDL at 21, Stavan embraced trucking as his calling. For over a decade, he hauled freight across the Southeast for Volusia Freight Lines, logging millions of safe miles while dreaming of owning his own rig.
