KTL: 6.0 TCR = 134% of General freight trucking, local BLS 4.5 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

KTL safety composite

KTL scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 33%), 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).
