The verdict

TQI runs at 98% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical General freight trucking, long-distance, truckload (TL) workplace, earning a grade C.

TQI: 4.4 TCR = 98% of General freight trucking, long-distance, truckload (TL) BLS 4.5 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

TQI safety composite

TQI scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 68% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 31%), 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).
