 Exhibit 10.1 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This Agreement
(“Agreement”) is entered into as of January 16, 2013 by and between UNIVERSAL TRUCKLOAD SERVICES, INC., by and on behalf of itself and its successor companies, affiliated companies, and assigns (hereinafter referred to collectively as
“UTSI”), and DONALD COCHRAN (“EMPLOYEE”), and the parties therefore agree as follows: 
 This Agreement
amends and restates the Employment Agreement dated September 13, 2008, by and between UTSI and EMPLOYEE. 
 Subject to the
terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and during the Term of this Agreement (as defined below), UTSI hereby employs EMPLOYEE in the position of President, with such duties and responsibilities as are commensurate with such office and may
from time-to-time be assigned to EMPLOYEE by UTSI’s Board of Directors or its CEO. 
 EMPLOYEE hereby accepts such
employment, and while employed, shall devote his full business time, skills, energy and attention to the business of UTSI, shall perform his duties in a diligent, loyal, businesslike and efficient manner, all for the sole purpose of enhancing the
business of UTSI, and in a manner consistent with all UTSI policies, resolutions and directives from time to time stated or made by the Board of Directors. Moreover, EMPLOYEE shall perform such services and duties as are consistent with
EMPLOYEE’s position, are necessary or appropriate for the operation and management of UTSI, and as are normally expected of persons appointed to chief executive positions in the business in which EMPLOYER is engaged. EMPLOYEE shall not directly
or indirectly engage in or be associated with any other business duties or pursuits without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors. 
  

	1.	Term of Agreement 

 This
Agreement shall commence on December 17, 2012 (the “Commencement Date”) and shall expire on December 17, 2016 (the “Term”) for a Term of four years, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 10
or extended pursuant to Section 3. 
  

	2.	Compensation for Services 

During the Initial Term, COMPANY shall pay to EMPLOYEE annual base salary (“Base Salary”) as their President at the
following rate: 
  

					
	 Period
	  	Base Salary as President	 
	 December 17, 2012 – December 14, 2013
	  	$	422,276	  
	 December 16, 2013 – December 13, 2014
	  	$	443,390

	  	$	465,560	  
	 December 14, 2015 – December 17, 2016
	  	$	488,838	  

 Base Salary shall be payable in equal installments pursuant to UTSI’s payroll system in effect from time-to-time,
less all applicable taxes required to be withheld by UTSI pursuant to federal, state or local law during the term of this contract. 

 UTSI may also pay to EMPLOYEE a bonus or other incentive compensation as approved by the
Board of Directors or Compensation and Stock Option Committee of UTSI from time to time. Any existing or past bonus plans will not be impacted by this agreement. Where EMPLOYEE is covered by any other specific plans adopted by the Company (i.e.
stock options, restricted stock grants, etc.) the terms of such plans shall govern such plans in the case of any contradiction between the terms of such plans and this agreement. 

 

	3.	Option to Extend. 

 UTSI
shall have the option to extend this Agreement for two consecutive years for an additional one (1) year at a time. UTSI may elect to exercise this extension option any time prior to the end of the contract years and/or the extended options
years. 
  

	4.	Benefits 

 EMPLOYEE shall
be entitled to fringe benefits provided by UTSI for its employees in the normal course of business. UTSI agrees to compensate EMPLOYEE for significant cost increases in benefit costs that are beyond the normal annual cost that all employees
experience. 
 UTSI agrees to provide Directors and Officers insurance coverage except under extraordinary market conditions
such as those that resulted from the events of 9/11/01 in which case coverage, if any, shall be as determined by the Board of Directors. 
  

	5.	Business Expenses 

 UTSI
shall reimburse EMPLOYEE for all reasonable and necessary business expenses incurred by him in the performance of his duties hereunder with respect to travel, entertainment and other business expenses, subject to UTSI’s business expense
policies in effect from time-to-time, including its procedures with respect to the manner of incurring, reporting and documenting such expenses. 
  

	6.	Proprietary Information 

a. EMPLOYEE shall forever hold in the strictest confidence and not disclose to any person, firm, corporation or other entity any of
UTSI’s Proprietary Information (as defined below) or any of UTSI’s Records (as defined below) except as such disclosure may be required in connection with EMPLOYEE’s work for UTSI and as expressly authorized by UTSI’s Board of
Directors in writing. (Except where discretion and timing allow EMPLOYEE to use his best judgement in favor of the Company.) 

b. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Proprietary Information” shall mean inter company publications, unpublished
works, plans, policies, computer and information systems, software and other information and knowledge relating or pertaining to the products, services, sales or other business of UTSI or its successor, affiliates and customers in any way

  
 2 

 
which is of a confidential or proprietary nature, the prices it obtains or has obtained from the sale of its services, its manner of operation, its plans, processes or other data, contracts,
information about contracts, contract forms, business applications, costs, profits, tax information, marketing information, advertising methods, customers, potential customers, brokers, potential brokers, employees, matters of a technical nature
(including inventions, computer programs, concepts, developments, contributions, devices, discoveries, software and documentations, secret processes or machines, including any improvements thereto and know-how related thereto, and research projects,
etc.), and other information not generally available to the public, without regard to whether all of the foregoing matters will be deemed confidential, material or important. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the parties hereto stipulate
that any and all knowledge, data and information gathered by the EMPLOYEE through this Agreement, his employment with UTSI and the operation of the business of UTSI is deemed important, material or confidential, and gravely affects the effective and
successful conduct of the business of UTSI and UTSI’s good will; could not without great expense and difficulty be obtained or duplicated by others who have not been able to acquire such information by virtue of employment with UTSI; and that
any breach of the terms of this Paragraph 6 shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. Proprietary Information” shall not include any information available from non UTSI sources or known to employee prior to his employment with UTSI.

 c. EMPLOYEE agrees that all creative work, including without limitation, designs, drawings, specifications, techniques,
models, processes and software prepared or originated by EMPLOYEE during or within the scope of employment whether or not subject to protection under the federal copyright or other law constitutes work made for hire all rights to which are owned by
UTSI. Moreover, EMPLOYEE hereby assigns to UTSI all right, title and interest whether by way of copyright, trade secret, patent or otherwise, and all such work whether or not subject to protection by copyright or other law. 

d. Upon termination of employment with UTSI or at any other time requested by UTSI, EMPLOYEE shall immediately return to UTSI and not
retain any copies of, any records, data, lists, plans, policies, publications, computer and information systems, files, diagrams and documentation, data, papers, drawings, memos, customer records, reports, correspondence, note books, service listing
and any other business record of any kind or nature (including without limitation records in machine-readable or computer-readable forms) relating to Proprietary Information (“Records”). 

 

	7.	Covenant Not To Compete 

a. As a material part of the consideration for this Agreement, EMPLOYEE agrees to the following covenants not to compete with UTSI, and
with all of its affiliated companies listed in Exhibit A to this Agreement (“Affiliated Companies”) during his employment and for a one (1) year period following the termination of EMPLOYEE’s employment with UTSI for any reason.
EMPLOYEE agrees not to interfere with customer contracts for a period of one year. This restriction shall apply to all UTSI Customers and Customers of Affiliated Companies. EMPLOYEE further agrees not to solicit, retain, employ or accept business
from any UTSI employees, agents or owner operators, or the employees, agents or owner operators of any Affiliated Companies. This Paragraph 7 shall survive after the termination or the earlier cancellation of this Agreement, for no less than one
year. 

  
 3 

 b. Both parties agree that the restrictions in this section are fair and reasonable in all
respects including the length of time that they shall remain in effect and that UTSI’s employment of EMPLOYEE upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement is fully sufficient consideration for EMPLOYEE’s obligations under this section.

 c. If any provisions of this section are ever held by a Court to be unreasonable, the parties agree that this section shall
be enforced to the extent it is deemed to be reasonable. 
  

	8.	No Interference With Employment Relationships 

 EMPLOYEE agrees that he will not either before or after termination of his employment with UTSI encourage, solicit or otherwise attempt to persuade any other employee of UTSI to leave the employment of
UTSI, regardless of the fact Employee recruited said individuals to UTSI and knew them from past relationships. In the event EMPLOYEE hires an employee of UTSI, UTSI shall be compensated at a fee equal to 30% of the employee’s first year’s
gross compensation. This Section 8 also applies to employees of companies in Exhibit A. 
  

	9.	Equitable Relief And Remedies At Law 

 EMPLOYEE acknowledges that UTSI would suffer unique and irreparable injury in the event of a breach of the covenants contained in Sections 6, 7 and 8 of this Agreement, which breach could not be
adequately compensated by the payment of damages alone. Accordingly in the event of any such breach by EMPLOYEE, EMPLOYEE agrees that this Agreement may be enforced by a decree of specific performance or an injunction without the necessity of
posting a bond in addition to any remedies available at law, including damages arising out of or relating to a breach of those covenants, and that any remedy which UTSI might have at law would be inadequate by itself. 

 

	10.	Termination of Agreement 

a. Without limitation of any other remedy available to UTSI, whether in law or in equity, EMPLOYEE’s employment relationship shall
terminate immediately without any further liability of UTSI to EMPLOYEE, upon written notice from UTSI to EMPLOYEE, for just cause: conviction of a felony of moral turpitude or dishonesty. In the event of EMPLOYEE’s termination pursuant to this
Section 10(a), UTSI shall have no obligation to pay Base Salary, outstanding bonuses, and benefits beyond last day worked. 

b. EMPLOYEE’s employment relationship shall terminate immediately upon death of EMPLOYEE. In the event of termination by
EMPLOYEE’s death, his estate/trust shall be entitled to receive Base Salary, benefits and earned but unpaid bonuses/grants through the date of his death as they become due in the normal course of business. 

c. EMPLOYEE agrees to submit to a medical examination at any time at UTSI’s request and expense. The medical examination will be
related to EMPLOYEE’s job and consistent with a business necessity of UTSI. This Agreement may be terminated by UTSI immediately upon written notice to EMPLOYEE if the examination reveals that EMPLOYEE is

  
 4 

 
unable to perform the essential functions of this Agreement even with a reasonable accommodation. The Agreement may also be terminated if, for a period of three (3) consecutive months,
EMPLOYEE is unable to perform the essential functions of the Agreement even with a reasonable accommodation. Upon such termination due to medical disability, EMPLOYEE’s compensation shall be continued for twelve (12) months from the date
of disability, or the end of the Agreement, whichever comes first. Thereafter, EMPLOYEE shall receive earned but unpaid bonuses/grants as they become due in the normal course of business. 

d. Upon the determination by UTSI’s Board of Directors that the best interests of UTSI would be served, UTSI shall have the further
right to terminate EMPLOYEE’s employment relationship immediately or at any time, at its option upon written notice to EMPLOYEE, without just cause. If EMPLOYEE is terminated pursuant to this Section 10(d), EMPLOYEE shall be entitled to
receive only Base Salary and benefits for a period of twelve (12) months following such termination or until the term of this agreement, whichever period is greater. Maximum twenty-four months. 

e. Any compensation payable to EMPLOYEE pursuant to this Section 10 following termination pursuant to subsection (d) of this
Section 10 shall be reduced by the amount of any compensation earned by EMPLOYEE in any employment or consulting he may undertake during said period that constitutes a violation of Section 5 respecting noncompetition. 

f. Upon three months’ prior written notice to UTSI at any time, EMPLOYEE shall have the right to terminate his employment
relationship with UTSI at his option. Upon receipt of such notice UTSI shall have the option to terminate EMPLOYEE’s employment relationship immediately upon written notice to EMPLOYEE. In the event of termination pursuant to this
Section 10(f), EMPLOYEE shall be entitled to receive Base Salary and benefits only through the three month period following EMPLOYEE’s notice of termination. The time period on the covenant not to compete shall commence at the end of the
three (3) month period, and EMPLOYEE shall also be bound by the covenant not to compete during the three (3) month period he is receiving Base Salary and benefits. EMPLOYEE shall be liable for all costs and expenses incurred by UTSI for
the failure to give three (3) months’ notice. 
 g. Upon termination of this Agreement by UTSI, EMPLOYEE shall,
without a claim for compensation, provide UTSI with written resignations from any and all offices held by him in or at the request of UTSI, and in the event of his failure to do so, UTSI is hereby irrevocably authorized to be, or designated as
EMPLOYEE’s attorney in fact, to act in his name and in his behalf to execute such resignations. 
 h. This Agreement shall
terminate upon expiration of the Term unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing prior thereto. 
  

	11.	Exclusive Consulting Contract 

 Upon termination of EMPLOYEE’s employment with UTSI for any reason whatsoever, UTSI shall have the right at its option, to retain EMPLOYEE as an independent consultant under an exclusive consulting
contract, for the performance by EMPLOYEE of such duties as may be reasonably assigned by UTSI consistent with the position of an independent consultant. The specific terms regarding the actual services to be performed, length of service,
restrictions on competition and other contractual terms not set forth in this paragraph, shall be mutually agreeable to EMPLOYEE and UTSI. 

  
 5 

	12.	No Restriction on Performance of Services Contemplated by Agreement 

 EMPLOYEE represents and warrants to UTSI that: (i) he is under no contractual or other restriction which would give a third party a legal right to assert that he would not be legally permitted to
perform the services contemplated by this Agreement; and (ii) by entering into this Agreement he has not breached, and by performing the services contemplated by this Agreement, he would not breach, any Agreement or duty relating to proprietary
information of another person or entity. 
  

	13.	Confidentiality of Agreement 

 EMPLOYEE shall not disclose any of the terms of this Agreement to any person with the exception of his spouse or attorneys or as required by law, provided the spouse or attorneys agree to be bound by this
Section. 
  

	14.	Severability 

 In case
any one or more of the provisions hereof shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. To the extent possible, there shall be deemed substituted such other provision as will most nearly accomplish the intent of the parties, to the extent permitted by
applicable law. 
  

	15.	Entire Agreement 

 This
Agreement embodies all the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties in relation to the subject matter hereof, and no representations, warranties, covenants, understandings, or agreements, unless expressly set forth herein
or in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby which makes reference to this Agreement, shall be considered effective. 
  

	16.	No Rights in Third Parties 

 Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended to, or shall be construed to confer upon, or give to any person, firm or other entity other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies under this
Agreement, except as provided in Section 17. 

  
 6 

	17.	Assignment 

 UTSI may
assign its rights and delegate its responsibilities under this Agreement to any affiliated company or to any corporation which acquires all or substantially all of the operating assets of UTSI by merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation,
combination, sale or transfer of assets or stock or otherwise. If there is a change of control where upon a new majority shareholder, other than Manuel J. Moroun, Matthew T. Moroun or affiliates, new ownership would be equally responsible to honor
this contract. EMPLOYEE shall not be entitled to assign his rights or delegate his responsibilities under this Agreement to any person. 
  

	18.	Payment to Estate 

 No
person, firm or entity shall have any right to receive any payments owing to EMPLOYEE hereunder, except that EMPLOYEE’s estate shall be entitled to receive a final payment of installment of Base Salary for services rendered to UTSI through date
of death and reimbursement for any business expenses previously incurred by EMPLOYEE for which he would have been entitled to reimbursement hereunder. 
  

	19.	Amendment 

 No
modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by each of the parties hereto. 
  

	20.	Survival of Covenants 

Without limitation of any other provisions of this Agreement, all representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the
covenants set forth in Sections 6, 7, 8 and 13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason for the maximum period permitted by law. 
  

	21.	Governing Law 

 This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (and not the law of conflicts) of the State of Michigan. The parties agree that should any litigation arise out of, in connection with, or relating to this Agreement,
such litigation will be commenced in the Circuit Court for Macomb County Michigan or in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan provided such court has subject matter jurisdiction. The parties specifically agree,
however, that either of these courts has personal jurisdiction and venue.

Dear Dan: 
 Reference is hereby

Now therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto,
the undersigned parties agree as follows: 
 1. Section 1 of the Agreement is hereby revised such that the phrase

2. Section 4(a) of the Agreement is hereby terminated and a new Section 4(a) is inserted in lieu thereof which reads as
follows: 
 “(a) If the Employment Period expires pursuant to Section 1 hereof, then, unless the Company notifies the
Employee that the employment of the Employee by the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate upon such expiration, the Employee shall continue his employment on an at-will basis following the expiration of the Employment Period. Such
at-will employment relationship may be terminated by either party at any time and shall not be governed by the terms of this Agreement.” 
 3. The Agreement, as supplemented and modified by this letter, together with the other writings referred to in the Agreement or delivered pursuant thereto which form a part thereof, contains the entire
agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and amends, restates and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous arrangements or understandings with respect thereto.
