Defendant is in the integrated paper and corrugated box manufacturing business. 6. On or about January 21, 2011, Plaintiff began to provide transportation delivery services for Defendant. 2 7. Plaintiff would provide freight delivery for Defendant and invoice immediately thereafter. 8. Payment on the invoice would be due within thirty days. 9. In or around April, 2011, Plaintiff stopped providing Defendant with delivery services because Defendant had not paid its previous invoices. 10. In or around July, 2011, Plaintiff and Defendant negotiated a payment agreement wherein Defendant would pay for one previous delivery each week. 11. Plaintiff received approximately five payments from Defendant. 12. Defendant has a balance of $41,847.29 due and owing Plaintiff. 13. Despite repeated demands, Plaintiff has not received payment from Defendant. COUNT I - BREACH OF CONTRACT 14. Paragraphs 1 through 13 of Plaintiff's Complaint are hereby incorporated by reference. 15. Plaintiff and Defendant entered into a valid and enforceable express or implied contract whereby Plaintiff agreed to provide transportation delivery services for Defendant in exchange for a delivery fee. 16. Defendant has breached its obligations under the contract by failing to pay Plaintiff for its services. 17. Defendant's actions constitute a breach of contract and entitle Plaintiff to damages. 18.
