The verdict

KNX runs at 41% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical General freight trucking, long-distance, less-than-truckload (LTL) workplace, earning a grade A.

KNX: 1.9 TCR = 41% of General freight trucking, long-distance, less-than-truckload (LTL) BLS 4.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

KNX safety composite

KNX scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 93% 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).
