Ladies and Gentlemen:
In accordance with Rule 461 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, a request is made hereby on behalf of Quality Distribution, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“QD LLC”), and QD Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“QD Capital” and together with QD LLC, the “Issuers”), that acceleration of the effectiveness of the above-captioned Registration Statement be granted for 3:00 p.m. (ET) on June 24, 2011, or as soon thereafter as practicable.
In connection with this request for acceleration, the Issuers acknowledge that:
| (i) | should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the above-captioned Registration Statement effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; |
| (ii) | the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the above-captioned Registration Statement effective, does not relieve the Issuers from their full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and |
| (iii) | the Issuers may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. |
