The verdict

BKF runs at 26% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Freight Trucking LTL workplace, earning a grade A.

BKF: 1.2 TCR = 26% of Freight Trucking LTL BLS 4.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

BKF safety composite

BKF scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 97% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 52%), 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).
