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.
