Item 8.01

Other Events

The Registrant announced today that it has filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to offer to the public from time to time in one or more offerings up to $35.0 million of securities, which may be in the form of debt or equity securities, at prices and on terms that the Registrant will decide at the time of the offering. In addition, under the shelf registration, if and when declared effective by the SEC, the Registrant’s stockholders may offer for resale to the public from time to time in one or more offerings up to 7,882,530 secondary shares of the Registrant’s common stock owned by them at prices and on terms to be determined at the time of any such offering.

The registration statement on Form S-3 has not yet been declared effective by the SEC. The securities may not be sold and offers to buy may not be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This Current Report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.

The Registrant also announced today that its wholly owned subsidiaries, Quality Distribution, LLC and QD Capital Corporation plan to redeem the remaining principal amount of their 11.75% Senior Subordinated PIK Notes due 2013.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
