C. Pepper Logistics LLC filed a complaint March 22 in the Madison County Circuit Court against James Ely, alleging breach of contract.
According to the plaintiff s complaint, C. Pepper Logistics entered into an independent contractor agreement with Ely that includes a confidentiality clause and non-solicitation clause.
