The verdict

UTU: 5.1 TCR = 114% of Freight Transportation BLS 4.5 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)
UTU safety composite
UTU scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 57% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 24%), 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).

Where UTU falls in its industry
3,020 Freight Transportation establishmentsSafer than 57% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 5.6.
Narrower to Arizona alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #19 safest of 40 Freight Transportation employers in Arizona.
UTU has fewer employees than the Freight Transportation median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 5.6. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
