The verdict

TST runs at 103% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical General freight trucking, long-distance, truckload (TL) workplace, earning a grade C.

TST: 4.6 TCR = 103% of General freight trucking, long-distance, truckload (TL) BLS 4.5 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

TST safety composite

TST scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 8%), 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).
