Road and Overland Carriers

Companies and organized services that carry passengers, mail or goods overland by road or historical overland relay. Belongs here: Greyhound Lines and the Pony Express, an organized horse-relay mail service that filled the same carrying role before motor transport existed. Does not belong here: the vehicles these carriers used, which are entries of type vehicle, or rail-based carriers, grouped under railway and rail transit operators.
