The verdict

LOU runs at 122% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical General freight trucking, long-distance, less-than-truckload (LTL) workplace, earning a grade D.

LOU: 5.5 TCR = 122% of General freight trucking, long-distance, less-than-truckload (LTL) BLS 4.5 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

LOU safety composite

LOU scores safer than 52% of same-industry peers on total case rate (tcr), blended into one 0-100 breakdown. 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).
