More details to this question:
I have started my own fright transportation company. I will not be solisting his customers. However, he sent an email to one of the carriers that I have remained friends with telling him that he can not haul my freight due to the non-compete. Does he have the right to tell me what carriers I use to haul my freight if I am not stealing his customers?

It depends on the scope of the non-compete. Unfortunately, the Courts in Minnesota are very pro-employer when it comes to non-competes. Have someone review the non-compete. I'd be happy to do that for free.
