trust or other enterprise, whether for profit or not. The Bylaws also allow us to indemnify directors and officers against expenses and attorneys&#146; fees related to any threatened, pending or completed action brought by or in the right of the
Company so long as the director acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed not to be opposed to our best interests. The Bylaws require us to indemnify officers and directors whose defense on the merits or otherwise has been successful;
however, no indemnification is allowed as to any claim where the director or officer is judged to be liable to us in the performance of his or her duties to us unless such indemnification is specifically approved by the court in which such action

is not obtainable or (3)&nbsp;our shareholders. To the extent that a director or officer is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, our Bylaws dictate that he or she must be indemnified against expenses
actually and reasonably incurred. The Bylaws also provide that indemnification is a contractual right between the Company and the officer or director that is not adversely affected by a repeal of the Bylaw indemnification provisions. </P>

The Outstanding Award Shares are shares of common stock of Universal Truckload Services, Inc. (the "Company") that are subject to outstanding awards granted under the Company's 2004 Stock Incentive Plan
(the "2004 Plan") as of June 3, 2014. On June 3, 2014, the Company's shareholders approved the adoption of the 2014 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which replaced the 2004 Plan. Pursuant to
Section 4(b) of the Plan, the Outstanding Award Shares will revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan if for any reason the awards to which they are subject expire or otherwise terminate without having been exercised or
redeemed in full, are reacquired or repurchased at cost by the Company prior to vesting, or are redeemed by payment in cash rather than shares of common stock.
(2)
The Remaining Shares are shares of common stock of the Company that were previously registered by the Company and available for grant under the 2004 Plan but were not subject to outstanding awards as of June 3,

Item 5.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Sections 561 through 571 of the MBCA authorize indemnification
of directors and officers of Michigan corporations. Our Articles of Incorporation require us to indemnify directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Michigan law. Our Bylaws permit us to indemnify directors and officers against
expenses, attorneys' fees, judgments, penalties, fines and settlements reasonably incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding brought by a third party so long as the director or officer acted in good
faith and in a manner reasonably believed not to be opposed to our best interests or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Indemnification includes civil,
1
criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings and service at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, whether for profit or not. The Bylaws also allow us to indemnify directors and officers against expenses and attorneys' fees related to any threatened, pending or completed action brought by or in the right of the
Company so long as the director acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed not to be opposed to our best interests. The Bylaws require us to indemnify officers and directors whose defense on the merits or otherwise has been successful;
however, no indemnification is allowed as to any claim where the director or officer is judged to be liable to us in the performance of his or her duties to us unless such indemnification is specifically approved by the court in which such action
was brought.
Although our Bylaws permit indemnification in the situations described above, each request for indemnification must be
individually authorized by (1) the board by a majority of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties or threatened to be made parties to the action or proceeding, (2) independent legal counsel in a written opinion if such quorum
is not obtainable or (3) our shareholders. To the extent that a director or officer is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, our Bylaws dictate that he or she must be indemnified against expenses
actually and reasonably incurred. The Bylaws also provide that indemnification is a contractual right between the Company and the officer or director that is not adversely affected by a repeal of the Bylaw indemnification provisions.
Our board of directors has approved, and we have entered into, indemnification agreements with certain of our directors and elected officers
which provide for indemnification against expenses incurred in connection with, as well as judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement resulting from any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at our request as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another foreign or
domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, so long as such amounts have been actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee.
Section 567 of the MBCA and our Bylaws authorize us to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a person who is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of us or who serves at the request of us as a director, officer, employee or agent of a nonprofit or for profit foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether or not we
would have the power to indemnify him or her under the Bylaws or the laws of the State of Michigan. We maintain a directors' and officers' insurance policy, which insures directors and officers against unindemnified losses from certain
wrongful acts in their capacities as directors and officers and reimburses us for those losses for which we have lawfully indemnified the directors and officers.
In addition, we entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement dated July 25, 2012, with Matthew T. Moroun, the
Manuel J. Moroun Revocable Trust U/A, dated March 24, 1977, as amended and restated on December 22, 2004, and the MJ Moroun 2012 Annuity Trust, dated April 30, 2012. This agreement provides for indemnification by the Company of the
Morouns for certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act and otherwise in connection with any registration of shares of our common stock pursuant to the agreement.

Not Applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits.
The exhibits to this Form S-8 are listed on the exhibit index, which appears
elsewhere herein and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement, provided that any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b), if in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
2
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.
(2) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant, in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
