On the record, no longer operating
The federal census lags the news. A carrier that has closed stays in the file as an active record until its registration is updated, so a ranking built on the raw census will rank companies that no longer answer the phone. These rows are kept in the table, marked, and never ranked.

Reported
Carroll Fulmer Logistics is closing its doors after 71 years in business ... The company will permanently cease operations on Sept. 27.Commercial Carrier Journal, announced 2025-07-29, ceased operations 2025-09-27, retrieved 2026-09-11
Finding
The 450-truck fleet the company described at closing matches the 449 power units on its last filing. The federal census still carried the record as active when this table was pulled, which is why a ranking built on the raw census alone would place a closed company third in Florida.

Questions
Réponses directes
Who are the largest trucking companies in Florida?
By declared fleet on their own FMCSA filings, the largest for-hire trucking companies in the state of Florida are Quality Carriers Inc, New Line Transport LLC, Se Independent Delivery Services Inc, Cypress Truck Lines Inc, Quality Container Transport Inc. The table lists every active for-hire carrier with five or more trucks.
Why are some big fleets missing?
Because they are not for-hire trucking companies. Rental fleets, private distribution fleets and contractors register trucks with FMCSA too; they are in the census but they do not sell trucking, so they are not ranked here.
