The verdict

PCA runs at 262% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical General freight trucking, long-distance, truckload (TL) workplace, earning a grade F.

PCA: 11.8 TCR = 262% of General freight trucking, long-distance, truckload (TL) BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

PCA safety composite

PCA scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 3%), 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).
