Wells, Fargo & Co. directly ran stage lines only from 1866 to 1869, from Nebraska to California, and north from Utah into Montana and Idaho.

There is also some information on drivers of the Cal-Oregon stagecoach company that Wells Fargo contracted with. For most of Wells Fargo‘s staging history, independent locally run stage lines carried the express. These stage lines advertised in their town’s business directories and newspapers, which are usually available at state and county historical societies and special libraries. There were many Wells Fargo wagon drivers, delivering for the Company in small towns and big cities until 1918. $3550
