ABF Freight 056: 13.7 TCR = 304% of Transportation BLS 4.5 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ABF Freight 056 safety composite

ABF Freight 056 scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 90% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 5%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
