 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of the sixteenth day of July, 2010 between QUALITY DISTRIBUTION,
INC., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and Joseph J. Troy the (“Employee”). 
 The Employee and
the Company wish to enter into an employment relationship on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
 Accordingly, the
Company and the Employee hereby agree as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Employment, Duties and Acceptance. 

 1.1 Employment. The
Company hereby agrees to employ the Employee for the Term (as defined in Section 2.1), to render exclusive and full-time services to the Company, in the capacity of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and to
perform such other duties consistent with such position (including service as a director or officer of any affiliate of the Company if elected) as may be assigned by the Company. It is agreed and understood that, if applicable, the Employee shall
resign as an officer of the Company or any subsidiary immediately upon termination of his employment hereunder for any reason. 

1.1.1 Duties and Authority. During the Term, the Employee shall serve as the Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer and shall have the normal duties, responsibilities, functions and authority of the position but subject to the power and authority of the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Company’s Board of Directors (the
“Board”) to expand or limit such duties, responsibilities, functions and authority, consistent with the foregoing, and to overrule the actions of employees and officers of the Company, During the Term, the Employee shall report to
the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. 
 1.2 Acceptance. The Employee hereby accepts such employment and
agrees to render the services described above. During the Term, and consistent with the above, the Employee agrees to serve the Company faithfully and to the best of the Employee’s ability, to devote the Employee’s entire business time,
energy and skill to such employment, and to use the Employee’s best efforts, skill and ability to promote the Company’s interests, It is understood that, during the Term, subject to any conflict-of-interest policies of the Company and
Section 5.1, the Employee may (x) serve in any capacity with any civic, charitable, educational or professional organization provided that such service does not interfere with his duties hereunder, (y) make and manage investments of
his choice, and (z) serve on the board of directors of up to two non-competing for-profit organizations provided that such board service does not interfere with his duties hereunder as determined by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
Further, the Employee agrees not to serve as a board audit committee chair for any non-competing for profit organization, due to the extensive incremental workload created by this type of role. For the avoidance of doubt, Employee currently serves
on the board of directors of two non-competing for-profit organizations and will retain the right to serve in such capacities. 







 1.3 Location. The duties to be performed by the Employee hereunder
shall be performed primarily at the location specified by the Company, subject to reasonable travel requirements consistent with the nature of the Employee’s duties from time to time on behalf of the Company.

and shall include in any report or response all information known or then available to the Employee, even if not specifically requested, which Employee reasonably believes is material, relevant and reasonably required for the understanding of the
matter in question sufficient to inform the person to whom such report or response is provided. Failure of the Employee to fulfill all fiduciary obligations ordinarily imposed by law on similarly situated employees in a fiduciary relationship will
be deemed a material breach of this Agreement by the Employee.

Employee’s Base Salary and determine if, and by how much, the Base Salary should be increased.
