Morton Transportation: 4.4 TCR = 97% of General freight trucking, local BLS 4.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Morton Transportation safety composite

Morton Transportation scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 44%), 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).
