Great Lakes Trucking: 1.4 TCR = 31% of Logistics BLS 4.5 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Great Lakes Trucking safety composite

Great Lakes Trucking scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 81% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 21%), 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).
