Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
Nelson Trucking, LLC vs. K&M Translogic, LLC and KM Diesel & Tire Services, LLC
K&M Translogic, LLC and KM Diesel & Tire Services, LLC appealed the denial of their motion to compel arbitration in a lawsuit brought by Nelson Trucking, LLC concerning two Peterbilt trucks. The appellate court dismissed KM Diesel & Tire Services's appeal for lack of standing, as it was not a party to the arbitration agreement and sought no relief. The court affirmed the denial of K&M Translogic's motion, holding that the arbitration clause in their independent contractor agreement did not cover the Peterbilt trucks because the contract, which required written amendments for additional vehicles, was never formally amended to include them.
