The verdict

Hickory runs at 148% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Trucking workplace, earning a grade D.

Hickory: 6.7 TCR = 148% of Trucking BLS 4.5 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Hickory safety composite

Hickory scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 10%), 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).
