    Hey all.
    Are their any DIB drivers on here that have heard anything about the TrueValue acquisition?

    Although I am not an employee of either company, it has been reported that True Value has come to terms, and agreed to Do it Best offer to purchase TV.

    Thanks.
    I guess I was hoping any DIB drivers might be here that could shed light on what rumors they've been hearing on the inside in regard to TV drivers and those DCs they work out of.

    Thought they were already married for years. Our local old school hardware store has been either true value or do it best parts for at least a decade. Delivery trailers have both names on them.

    Buddy of mine works for DIB out of Sikeston, MO and hasn’t really noticed any changes yet.

    In the upper Midwest, True Value stores were the ‘gold standard’ for years, almost as good as Sears & Robuck.
    My first set of tools I bought were ‘Master Mechanic’ by True Value, still have most of the set.
