Dowell Express Inc safety composite

Dowell Express Inc scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 71% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 26%), 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).

Dowell Express Inc has fewer employees than the Truck Transportation median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.0.
