8. Pursuant to the terms of the 2010 Agreement, iDrive was authorized to
exclusively manage the negotiation process between IntegraCore and the Carriers. Id. at ¶1(a).
The savings attributable to iDrive’s work was to be determined by comparing incentives being
offered by the Carriers to IntegraCore prior to execution of the 2010 Agreement, and those
thirty-eight percent (38%) of savings that IntegraCore received from the Carriers. Id. at ¶

10. In March 2010, iDrive sent IntegraCore several reports detailing strategy for
negotiating with the various Carriers to improve rates and incentives being charged to
IntegraCore by the Carriers. In March 2010, IntegraCore informed iDrive that it preferred to

receiving the savings resulting from the implementation of the suggested optimization strategies.
IntegraCore failed and/or refused to provide iDrive with information regarding the

implementation of the optimization services and the resulting savings achieved by IntegraCore as
President and Owner, Ted Broman, and representatives of iDrive, including iDrive CEO Shaun
Rothwell, met to discuss the problems with IntegraCore’s lack of cooperation and performance
under the 2010 Agreement. During these conversations, Ted Broman acknowledged that iDrive
15. For the rest of 2010, Mr. Rothwell and Mr. Broman had several communications
regarding IntegraCore’s failure to abide by the terms of the 2010 Agreement. During these
discussions, Mr. Broman and Mr. Rothwell reviewed the terms of the 2010 Agreement, and
reached a settlement on behalf of IntegraCore and iDrive with regard to the dispute over the 2010
Agreement.
breaches of the 2010 Agreement, and to allow IntegraCore a fresh start with a new agreement.
17. Accordingly, on January 13, 2011, iDrive and IntegraCore entered into a second
agreement titled “Pricing Optimization and Audit Service Agreement” (the “2011 Agreement,”
attached hereto as Exhibit 2). Mr. Broman executed the 2011 Agreement on behalf of
IntegraCore.
18. As IntegraCore had previously asserted that it was not clear as to its obligations
arising from the 2010 Agreement, prior to execution of the 2011 Agreement, Mr. Broman and
Page 4 of 27
Mr. Rothwell discussed the material terms of the 2011 Agreement to ensure IntegraCore was
19. Ted Broman assured Mr. Rothwell that previous problems under the 2010
Agreement would be resolved. Mr. Broman represented that many of IntegraCore’s failures to
comply with the 2010 Agreement had arisen because IntegraCore employee Rob Glance had
been responsible, and that Mr. Glance was ill equipped to handle shipping issues.
20. Mr. Broman requested that Mr. Rothwell provide a suggestion as to who Mr.
Broman could hire to deal with logistics issues inside IntegraCore. Mr. Rothwell suggested that
Mr. Broman hire Thad Haderlie to be responsible for logistics inside IntegraCore. Mr. Broman
21. Mr. Broman represented to Mr. Rothwell that Mr. Broman would be heavily
involved in the day-to-day management of logistics to ensure IntegraCore’s compliance with the
22. Pursuant to the terms of the 2011 Agreement, iDrive was again given exclusive
authority to negotiate and optimize the shipping arrangements IntegraCore had with the Carriers.
See 2011 Agreement, Exhibit 2, at 1, ¶1(a) (“All significant logistics decisions will flow through
23. The 2011 Agreement provides that iDrive will be compensated by IntegraCore
for shipping optimization services based upon the savings achieved by IntegraCore during the

Savings attributed to iDRIVE’S contract negotiation with the carriers will be
determined by comparing incentives currently being offered to CUSTOMER
under the contract(s) from the Carrier(s) in effect on the date of this Agreement,
less the new incentives achieved from the Carrier(s) after the date hereof and will
be calculated based on CUSTOMER’S actual shipping data.

24. The term of the 2011 Agreement varies depending on Defendant’s specific
contract with each Carrier. The 2011 Agreement term begins to run as to each Carrier three
years from the date that Carrier’s existing agreement with IntegraCore is modified:

Page 6 of 27
26. The 2011 Agreement also requires IntegraCore to notify iDrive of any changes to
Id. at 1(c).
27. In February of 2011, Defendant provided iDrive with copies of the UPS
and FedEx agreements then in effect for the purpose of 1) establishing the contractual
baseline upon which optimization efforts would be based and 2) allowing iDrive to
analyze the then current agreement for the purpose of developing a customized
optimization strategy.

Haderlie, dated February 21, 2011, attached hereto as Exhibit 3. The strategies included
Page 7 of 27
a recommendation regarding discount levels on services, a discount on “Residential
Surcharges,” and changes to the “Ground Minimum Revenue per Piece” charges. See id.
31. During his conversation with iDrive, Thad Haderlie committed to begin
the process of requesting new proposals from UPS and FedEx. Mr Haderlie informed
iDrive representatives that the implementation of these changes, and further negotiations
32. In July, 2011, Carl Hutchinson visited Utah and requested an appointment
33. Thad Haderlie indicated that he did not have time to meet with Mr.
Hutchinson, but that he would follow up with Shaun Rothwell. Mr. Haderlie also
represented at this time that there had been no changes to any arrangement with any of
the Carriers.
34. For the remainder of 2011, iDrive reached out several more times to Mr.
the iDrive recommendations and the negotiations with the Carriers. In each instance, Mr.
Haderlie indicated there had been no changes to any arrangement with any Carrier. Ted
Broman had knowledge of Mr. Haderlie’s statements, and instructed Mr. Haderlie as to
35. During this time, the volume of USPS shipments being made by
IntegraCore using the iDrive negotiated USPS rates began to dramatically decrease.
Page 8 of 27
iDrive representative Carl Hutchinson reached out to Mr. Haderlie to ask Mr. Haderlie
direction of Ted Broman, told Mr. Rothwell the IntegraCore customers were now using
their own USPS rates. This assertion was untrue, and was calculated by Mr. Broman and
Mr. Haderlie to deceive iDrive into believing it was entitled to less compensation under
IntegraCore’s claims with regard to shipments using the USPS. Mr. Rothwell talked to
Mr. Rothwell that IntegraCore customers were in fact still using IntegraCore’s USPS
rates.
IntegraCore client, named Doterra, who informed Mr. Rothwell that Doterra was
shipping ever increasing numbers of packaging by USPS, using the IntegraCore USPS
rates.
39. Mr. Rothwell ultimately learned from his conversations with Endicia
Doterra and others that the USPS agreement IntegraCore was using to make USPS
40. Mr. Rothwell was informed that, in violation of the 2011 Agreement,
IntegraCore, under the direction of Ted Broman, had decided to use the USS rates as part
Page 9 of 27
of a calculated effort to deprive iDrive of compensation for optimization services due
iDrive under the 2011 Agreement. In violation of the express terms of the 2011
Agreement, IntegraCore usurped for themselves the compensation due iDrive for USPS
41. iDrive does not currently have enough information to fully determine the
shipments and related USPS revenue from iDrive. However, iDrive currently estimates it
has been deprived of not less than $2,200,000 in compensation due under the terms of the
2011 Agreement.
42. iDrive negotiated its agreement with the USPS based upon the information
customers, including Doterra, had historically made through the USPS. iDrive was able
to negotiate a lower rate with the USPS based upon volumes shipped by other iDrive
the 2011 Agreement, the overall volume of USPS shipments by iDrive customers
declined, as a result, iDrive lost some of the benefit of its agreement with the USPS and
44. From January of 2011 through July 2011, Mr. Haderlie, under the
had been made to the Carrier Agreements in accordance with the iDrive
Page 10 of 27
recommendations. In July, 2012, Shaun Rothwell requested copies of all Carrier
45. Finally, in October, 2012, Mr. Haderlie sent iDrive a package containing
what Mr. Haderlie represented to be the current agreements with UPS and FedEx. iDrive
determined that these were the same agreements Defendant had provided to iDrive in
2011.
46. A review of the actual shipping data, (received by iDrive as part of its
auditing function under the Agreement), revealed that the agreements provided by Mr.
Haderlie in October, 2012, did not accurately reflect the pricing terms actually being
47. Upon iDrive completing its comparison between the agreement terms and
the actual shipping data, Shaun Rothwell communicated the details of his findings to Mr.
Haderlie, informing Mr. Haderlie that Defendant was acting contrary to its obligations
48. Mr. Haderlie responded that he was out of the office with a new baby, but
49. In November 2012, Mr. Rothwell reached out again to Mr. Haderlie to
discuss specific findings regarding the UPS and the FedEx agreements. Mr. Rothwell
presented evidence to Mr. Haderlie that several of the items from the strategy proposed
Page 11 of 27
50. In November 2012, Mr. Rothwell met with Mr. Haderlie in person in Mr.
Haderlie’s office. In this meeting, Mr. Haderlie admitted to Mr. Rothwell that the UPS
had indeed issued IntegraCore new rates. During this meeting, Mr. Haderlie refused to
provide Mr. Rothwell with any specific information about the new rates.
51. Mr. Rothwell informed Mr. Haderlie that he would need to speak with
IntegraCore’s owner and President, Ted Broman. Mr. Haderlie informed Mr. Rothwell
that Ted Broman was aware of every detail relating to transportation management at
IntegraCore. Mr. Rothwell then had a call with Ted Broman to discuss IntegraCore’s
breach of the 2011 Agreement. In this call, Ted Broman admitted to Mr. Rothwell that
he knew there had been changes to the Carrier agreements, but Mr. Broman was
detailing iDrive’s analysis of the savings iDrive determined were due under the 2011
Agreement for optimization savings achieved with UPS from October 29, 2011 through
October 31, 2012. See IntegraCore Evaluation of Savings from Data, October 29, 2011 –
53. The November 2012 spreadsheet reflects that, starting with the October
29, 2011 UPS invoice, many of the iDrive negotiating strategies had been implemented
and suggested price optimizations had been achieved. See id. The shipping data was
pulled starting on October 29, 2011 and the amount of actual contract optimization was
calculated in the spreadsheet. See id. The spreadsheet reflects that for the time period
Page 12 of 27
reflected in the spreadsheet, IntegraCore had achieved savings of more than $936,986.30.
As such, just with regard to the time period set forth in the spreadsheet, IntegraCore had
54. From the information it has gathered to date, iDrive calculates it is owed
not less than $1,710,000 over the life of the IntegraCore Agreement for optimization
savings achieved with UPS alone. This estimate fails to take into consideration
additional savings which may apply to the UPS arrangement, but iDrive has been unable
the information.
55. iDrive believes that discovery will reveal that IntegraCore, in violation of
the 2012 Agreement and in violation of its purported “core value” of “integrity,” has
savings which IntegraCore has hidden from iDrive. iDrive reserves the right to amend
this Complaint to address further discoveries as they become apparent through the
discovery process.
57. The 2011 Agreement constitutes a binding, legal contract between iDrive and
IntegraCore.
Page 13 of 27
58. IntegraCore breached the 2011 Agreement in at least the following ways: 1)
IntegraCore failed to flow all significant logistics decisions through iDrive; 2) IntegraCore failed
to timely provide iDrive with information regarding changes in its arrangements with Carriers; 3)
IntegraCore failed to make all information regarding all IntegraCore’s relationships with all
Carriers available to iDrive; 4) IntegraCore failed to inform iDrive of material changes to its
agreements with Carriers, within 60 days prior to implementing those changes; 5) IntegraCore
failed to advise iDrive that changes had occurred in the amounts charged by Carriers for services
that gave rise to an obligation by IntegraCore to compensate iDrive pursuant to the Agreement;
6) IntegraCore failed to compensate iDrive for changes in its arrangements with Carriers as
required by the terms of the 2011 Agreement; 7) IntegraCore diverted USPS shipments that were
required to be made on the iDrive negotiated USPS contract, and instead secretly and without
iDrive’s knowledge or consent made those shipments using a different USPS contract and rate;
and 8) IntegraCore failed to make further payments to iDrive for optimization services in
59. As a result of IntegraCore’s breaches of the Agreement, iDrive has been injured
and suffered damages in an amount to be proven at trial. iDrive currently estimates that the
amount of damages is not less than $3,900,000, based upon savings achieved by IntegraCore on

61. IntegraCore has a duty to fulfill the obligations set forth in the 2011 Agreement
62. IntegraCore breached the covenant of good faith and fair dealing arising from the
2011 Agreement in at least the following ways: 1) IntegraCore failed to flow all significant
logistics decisions through iDrive; 2) IntegraCore failed to timely provide iDrive with
information regarding changes in its arrangements with Carriers; 3) IntegraCore failed to make
all information regarding all IntegraCore’s relationships with all Carriers available to iDrive; 4)
IntegraCore failed to inform iDrive of material changes to its agreements with Carriers, within

65. In the alternative to iDrive’s claims for Breach of Contract (First Claim for
Relief) and Breach of the Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing (Second Claim for Relief),
iDrive asserts that IntegraCore has been unjustly enriched as a result of the conduct set forth
above.
IntegraCore the recommendations arising from that analysis, iDrive conferred a benefit on
IntegraCore.
68. The acceptance, retention and use by IntegraCore of information, analysis and
strategies conveyed by iDrive was of benefit to IntegraCore. Under the circumstances set forth
above, it would be inequitable to iDrive for IntegraCore to retain the benefit conveyed by iDrive

IntegraCore also has significant spends with DHL, FedEx and multiple LTL carriers. In violation of the 2011
Agreement, IntegraCore has not provided information for the other Carriers. iDrive believes this information will
reveal that IntegraCore owes additional money to iDrive.
Page 16 of 27
70. IntegraCore engaged in several wrongful acts, including but not limited to
breaches of contract, breaches of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, misrepresentations,
71. As a result of IntegraCore’s actions in this case, IntegraCore has been unjustly
enriched.
72. iDrive can trace specific amounts of money received by IntegraCore as a result of

belongs to iDrive.
75. IntegraCore was obligated to compensate iDrive under the terms of the 2011
Agreement.
76. IntegraCore knew and understood it owed iDrive compensation and the amount of
77. In willful interference with iDrive’s right to compensation under the terms of the
2011 Agreement, IntegraCore withheld the money to which IntegraCore knew iDrive was
entitled to possession.
78. IntegraCore was without lawful justification to interfere with iDrive’s use and
enjoyment of money owed iDrive under the terms of the 2011 Agreement. As a direct result of
Page 17 of 27
IntegraCore’s actions, iDrive was deprived of use and possession of compensation to which
amount to be proven at trial, but in any event not less than $3,900,000.
disregard for iDrive’s rights in this matter, iDrive is entitled to an award of punitive
damages.
82. On or about February 21, 2011, iDrive representatives that included Carl
representative, to communicate the UPS and FedEx strategies developed by iDrive for
Defendant.
83. During this conversation with iDrive, Thad Haderlie, under the direction
of Ted Broman, requested that iDrive forego its right to negotiate with the Carriers on
IntegraCore’s behalf, that iDrive agree to forego iDrive’s contractual right to direct and
to implement the iDrive strategies on behalf of IntegraCore, Mr. Haderlie, under the
Page 18 of 27
direction of Mr. Broman, made the following statements that Mr. Haderlie and Mr.
Broman knew were not true when the statements were made: 1) Mr. Haderlie, under Mr.
immediately begin the process of requesting new proposals from the Carriers, with
priority emphasis on UPS and FedEx; 2) Mr. Haderlie, under Mr. Broman’s direction,
represented that IntegraCore believed that negotiations between IntegraCore and the
Carriers directly would be more effective without iDrive’s participation; 3) Mr. Haderlie,
under Mr. Broman’s direction, represented that IntegraCore would keep iDrive
representatives informed of the progress of his negotiations with the Carriers; and 4) Mr.
recommendations provided by iDrive on February 21, 2011, would be his top priority.
85. At the time these representations were made, Mr. Haderlie and Mr.
Broman knew that IntegraCore would not immediately make implementation of the
iDrive recommendations a priority, did not believe that negotiations between IntegraCore
and the Carriers directly would be more effective without iDrive, and had no intention of
keeping iDrive in the loop with regard to negotiations between IntegraCore and the
Carriers.
86. Based upon these assertions by Mr. Haderlie, under the direction of Mr.
Broman, iDrive was induced to forego its contractual right to negotiate with the Carriers
on IntegraCore’s behalf, iDrive was induced to forego its contractual right to manage the

Hutchinson, made several phone calls to Mr. Haderlie to ascertain the status of
89. Most of these calls were not returned. However, on at least two occasions
Mr. Haderlie, under the direction of Ted Broman, informed iDrive representatives by
phone that there had been no progress on IntegraCore’s negotiations with any Carrier.
90. Mr. Haderlie’s statements, made under the direction of Mr. Broman, with
regard to the progress of negotiations with the Carriers made from February 2011 through
July 2011 were known by Mr. Haderlie and Mr. Broman to be false when the statements
were made. Mr. Haderlie, under the direction of Ted Broman, falsely misrepresented the
status of negotiations with the Carriers for the purpose of inducing iDrive to continue to
forego its contractual right to negotiate with the Carriers on IntegraCore’s behalf, to
Page 20 of 27
induce iDrive to continue to forego its contractual right to manage the implementation of
statements with regard to the progress of negotiations with the Carriers, iDrive was
further induced to forego its contractual right to negotiate with the Carriers on

injured and suffered damages. Specifically, iDrive has been deprived of the profits it
would have received had iDrive controlled the prompt implementation of its strategies at
IntegraCore, profits iDrive would have made had iDrive been in control of the
negotiations between IntegraCore and the Carriers, and profits iDrive would have made
had iDrive not foregone its right to control information regarding IntegraCore’s logistics.
93. In July 2011, Carl Hutchinson visited Utah and requested an appointment
Page 21 of 27
94. Thad Haderlie indicated that he did not have time to meet with Mr.
Hutchinson, but that he would follow up with Shaun Rothwell. Mr. Haderlie, under the
95. From July 2011 through the end of December 2011, iDrive
representatives, including Mr. Hutchinson and Mr. Rothwell, reached out several times to
Mr. Haderlie and Ted Broman, requesting information and updates regarding the status of
implementation of the iDrive recommendations and the negotiations with the Carriers. In
each instance, Mr. Haderlie, under the direction of Mr. Broman, again misrepresented the
progress of negotiations with the Carriers made from July 2011 through the end of
December 2011.
96. Mr. Haderlie, under the direction of Ted Broman, falsely misrepresented
the status of negotiations with the Carriers for the purpose of inducing iDrive to continue
to forego its contractual right to negotiate with the Carriers on IntegraCore’s behalf, to
induce iDrive to continue to forego its contractual right to manage the implementation of
statements with regard to the progress of negotiations with the Carriers from July 2011
through the end of December 2011, iDrive was further induced to forego its contractual
right to negotiate with the Carriers on IntegraCore’s behalf, iDrive was further induced to
Page 22 of 27
forego its contractual right to manage the implementation of iDrive’s strategy and
recommendations, and iDrive was further induced to allow IntegraCore to implement the
98. As a direct result of these misrepresentations from July 2011 through the
end of December 2011, iDrive has been injured and suffered damages. Specifically,
iDrive has been deprived of the profits it would have received had iDrive controlled the
prompt implementation of its strategies at IntegraCore, profits iDrive would have made
had iDrive been in control of the negotiations between IntegraCore and the Carriers, and
profits iDrive would have made had iDrive not foregone its right to control information
99. From January of 2012 through July 2012, iDrive representatives, including
Mr. Hutchinson and Mr. Rothwell, made several more requests of Mr. Haderlie for
communications, Mr. Haderlie, under the direction of Ted Broman, falsely represented to
iDrive representatives, including Mr. Hutchinson and Mr. Rothwell, that no changes had
been made to the Carrier Agreements. Mr. Haderlie and Ted Broman knew these
100. Mr. Haderlie, under the direction of Mr. Broman, made the
misrepresentations with regard to the status of Carrier negotiations from January 2012
through July 2012 with the intention of inducing iDrive into believing the false
statements, into believing that iDrive was not entitled to optimization compensation, and
Page 23 of 27
into further foregoing its contractual rights to control negotiations with Carriers and all
statements with regard to the lack of progress with Carriers from January 2012 through
July 2012, iDrive relied upon the statements and was further deprived of compensation
due iDrive under the 2011 Agreement, and was induced to continue to further forego its
contractual rights to control negotiations with the Carriers, and to access to and control of
all information related to the negotiations with the Carriers. As a result, iDrive was
102. Finally, in July, 2012, Shaun Rothwell requested from IntegraCore copies
of all current Carrier agreements to verify that no changes to the agreements had been
made.
103. After delaying several months, in October, 2012, Mr. Haderlie, under the
direction of Mr. Broman, sent iDrive a package containing what Mr. Haderlie, under the
direction of Mr. Broman, represented to be the current agreements with UPS and FedEx.
When Mr. Haderlie, under the direction of Ted Broman, represented that these
agreements were the then current agreements with Carriers, Mr. Haderlie and Mr.
104. Mr. Haderlie, under the direction of Mr. Broman, falsely represented that
the agreements provided to Mr. Rothwell in October 2012 were then current for the
Page 24 of 27
purpose of inducing iDrive into believing that the agreements were then current, and that
105. Shortly after receiving the agreements from Mr. Haderlie, iDrive
representatives determined that the Carrier agreements provided by Mr. Haderlie were the
same Carrier agreements IntegraCore had provided to iDrive at the commencement of the
2011 Agreement.
106. iDrive became suspicious and conducted a review of the actual shipping
data, (received by iDrive as part of its auditing function under the 2011 Agreement). The
review revealed that the agreements Mr. Haderlie provided to Mr. Rothwell in October
2012 were in fact not current, and did not reflect the pricing terms actually being charged
107. Upon iDrive completing the review in October 2012, Shaun Rothwell
communicated the details of his findings to Mr. Haderlie and Ted Broman, informing
them that Defendant was acting contrary to its obligations under the 2011 Agreement.
108. Mr. Haderlie responded that he was out of the office with a new baby but
109. In November 2012, Mr. Rothwell again reached out to Mr. Haderlie and
Ted Broman to discuss specific findings regarding the UPS and the FedEx agreements.
Mr. Rothwell presented evidence to Mr. Haderlie that several of the items from the

110. In November 2012, Mr. Rothwell met with Mr. Haderlie in person in Mr.
Haderlie’s office. In this meeting, Mr. Haderlie admitted to Mr. Rothwell that UPS had
indeed issued IntegraCore new rates. During this meeting, Mr. Haderlie refused to
provide Mr. Rothwell with any specific information about the new rates.
111. Mr. Rothwell informed Mr. Haderlie that he would need to speak with
IntegraCore’s owner and President, Ted Broman. Mr. Haderlie informed Mr. Rothwell
that Ted Broman was aware of every detail relating to transportation management at
IntegraCore. Mr. Rothwell then had a call with Ted Broman to discuss IntegraCore’s
breach of the 2011 Agreement. In this call, Ted Broman admitted to Mr. Rothwell that
he knew there had been changes to the Carrier agreements, but Mr. Broman was

and suffered damages. Specifically, iDrive has been deprived of the profits it would have
received had iDrive controlled the prompt implementation of its strategies at IntegraCore,
profits it would have received had iDrive been in control of the negotiations between
