The verdict

NWA runs at 132% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical General freight trucking, long-distance, truckload (TL) workplace, earning a grade D.

NWA: 5.9 TCR = 132% of General freight trucking, long-distance, truckload (TL) BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

NWA safety composite

NWA scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 19%), 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).
