Not a complete list of all employees who worked for the trucking companies but as much as could be compiled from the 1976 city directory as possible. Some of those lister could have lived in Council Bluffs but worked in nearby cities with trucking terminals such as Omaha, Nebraska. The list can be a handy research tool to see which common carriers were in the area at the time, and the number of employyes listed can be an indication as to the size of the local terminal operated.
