DOT: 8.3 TCR = 184% of General freight trucking, long-distance, less-than-truckload (LTL) BLS 4.5 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

DOT safety composite

DOT scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 25%), 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).
