The Disappearance of Jeffrey Andrew Dupres

July 6, 2023

On April 24, 1980, a 3 year old boy named Jeffrey Andrew Dupres and his mother, Denise, were outside their home in Slave Lake, Alberta, Canada. Just before 1 pm that day, Jeffrey told his mother he was going to play with his next door neighbour, a 5 year old named Rodney. 

Denise went inside and switched over her laundry, the window was opened. A few minutes later Denise heard Rodney’s dad calling out for him to come inside. At this point Denise looked out the window and did not see Rodney or Jeffrey. Denise believed that Jeffrey had gone inside Rodney’s house with him. 

About 20 minutes went by when Rodney showed up at Denise’s door asking for Jeffrey. Realizing he was missing, Denise immediately called the police at 1:45 pm. The police actually told Denise they were too busy and suggested she continue to look for her son with neighbours. 

At 2:20 pm, Denise called police again. It took them over an hour to get to her house. There were hundreds of volunteers that showed up to look for little Jeffrey, with the news of his disappearance spreading quickly. Jeffrey’s father, who had been working away, Ray, came home and the two parents searched for their son for the rest of the night. 

On April 25, 1980, the search continued. Teachers and 200 students from high school helped searched, and throughout the day many of the same locations had been checked multiple times with no luck. 

The community really came together to search for the little boy, taking it extremely seriously. One man even quit his job supposedly when he was told he would not be allowed to have time off to help search. 

Denise had asked authorities multiple times if they could get the Armed Forces Search and Rescue to come help look for her son, however they ignored her pleas, and the Armed Forces did not show up for almost a week. 

Soon enough, a witness came forward and her and her two kids who also witnessed the abduction were flown into Edmonton and hypnotized. 

Supposedly the woman who kidnapped Jeffrey was an “attractive female in her mid-20′s.” She was about 5′2 feet tall, 110 pounds with shoulder length brown hair. The truck she was riding in was a 1978-1980 custom painted Chevy/GMC short box pickup with chrome bumpers and wheels. The driver of the truck was a male in his early 30′s who was clean shaven, with short reddish-blonde hair. 

Both of Jeffrey’s abductors were described as “relatively small.” Apparently this woman was seen trying to get Jeffrey to go towards the truck. When Jeffrey got close enough she grabbed him and the truck drove off. 

Despite there being a witness who came forward, Denise herself was accused of murdering Jeffrey in the summer of 1980. They asked her to do a lie detector test. 

In 1986, an investigator stated that he had a gut feeling Jeffery was still alive. The same year, the national missing children’s database was developed and Jeffrey’s case was compared to 100 other missing children. There was never any “tell-tale” similarities according to investigators. 

If the woman and the man who abducted Jeffrey were alive today, the woman would be in her 60′s and the man in his 70′s. If Jeffrey was alive today he would be 46 years old. 

It has been over 43 years since Jeffrey Dupres was abducted and there is no further information on his case. 

Tips can be sent to Slave Lake RCMP by calling 780-849-399. An independent tip line has been set up by Recover Agency offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to Jeffrey’s whereabouts.

“hii I hate to do this but I just found out I won't be getting my first paycheck at my new job until April 15th, and my account is 100 CAD overdrawn” why do you hate to do this? There is nothing wrong with needing help. Inflation might be declining and so unemployment rate may be too, but it’s natural and normal to need help under capitalism. I mean it’s dystopian to live in a capitalist, colonial Canada isn’t it? That we do I mean. And no person is an island anyway. And non disabled people seem to think they are so independent when other people grow their food, and trucks send their food to the grocery stores rven though some companies are becoming creepy towards truck drivers. Like watching them on their routes. What the fuck? And the garbage men pick up abled garbage. Abled society tells us disabled people to move out of our homes, or I mean at least in Western culture, we are expected to do that when we are adults. Even though we might have disabled parents to take care of and they might have to also take care of us. And no one is as independent as they think. And the grocery stores that truckers deliver to are jacking up prices for food to make it hard to get food and not starve. With inflation and increasing prices on- I lost my train of thought. Anyway it’s okay to need help. I am on Aishe and I help my mom a lot. You know mutual aid and stuff. Living together is easier for expenses too and er take care of each other. Isn’t internalized ableism or capitalism to apologize for needing help? Since you are disabled like me. I mean not that I don’t have internalized ableism and sometimes feel shame if I don’t remember key facts anout myself.

yeah, part of me hating to do it is internalized shame. but also, I get death threats whenever I ask for financial help so. that's a factor too

How to Increase Your Truck Driver Salary in Canada: Tips for Success

Truck driving is a rewarding yet demanding profession in Canada. With the right strategies, truck drivers can increase their earnings and enjoy the financial benefits of this growing industry. In this blog, we’ll explore actionable tips on how to increase your truck driver salary in Canada. Whether you're just starting or have years of experience, these strategies will help you maximize your earning potential.

. Upgrade Your Skills and Qualifications

One of the most effective ways to increase your truck driver salary in Canada is by enhancing your skills and certifications. Specialized drivers, such as those hauling dangerous goods or oversized loads, earn significantly more than general freight drivers. Here are a few certifications to consider:

Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) Certification: Drivers transporting hazardous materials like chemicals or explosives can command higher pay.

Heavy Haul Certification: Transporting oversized or overweight loads requires specific training, and companies are willing to pay more for these skills.

Long-Haul Endorsements: If you're willing to drive across provinces or into the U.S., long-haul routes often come with higher wages.

Investing in additional certifications not only increases your employability but also enhances your negotiating power when discussing pay.

. Seek Employment with High-Paying Companies

The company you work for plays a big role in your overall salary. Larger trucking companies or those that specialize in high-demand industries often offer better compensation packages. Research top-paying trucking companies in Canada to find those that provide competitive wages, benefits, and bonuses.

Consider companies that specialize in sectors like:

Oil and Gas Industry: Truck drivers in the energy sector often earn more due to the complexity and risk involved.

Logistics Companies: Working for large logistics firms can provide higher wages due to consistent demand for goods transportation.

Construction and Infrastructure Projects: Transporting heavy equipment or materials for construction jobs often comes with premium pay.

. Increase Your Driving Experience

Experience is key when it comes to increasing your truck driver salary in Canada. The more years you have behind the wheel, the more valuable you become to employers. Seasoned drivers are often trusted with more complex and high-paying assignments.

Here’s how you can leverage your experience:

Take On Leadership Roles: As you gain experience, you may be eligible for promotions to lead driver or dispatcher positions, which typically come with a pay increase.

Mentoring New Drivers: Some companies offer additional compensation for experienced drivers who mentor or train new recruits.

Keep track of your years of service and use it as leverage when negotiating raises or applying for higher-paying jobs.

. Be Willing to Work Overtime or Long-Haul Routes

Drivers willing to take on additional hours or longer routes can significantly increase their earnings. Many trucking companies offer overtime pay, and long-haul drivers—especially those willing to drive across multiple provinces or into the U.S.—are often compensated at a higher rate.

Here's how you can maximize your pay:

Work During Peak Seasons: Trucking companies often offer bonuses during peak seasons, such as holiday periods or during specific project deadlines.

Accept Overnight or Weekend Shifts: Shifts outside of regular hours can come with additional pay perks.

Cross-border Routes: If you have the qualifications and willingness to cross into the U.S. or haul freight internationally, these long-distance trips are often compensated at a premium.

Taking advantage of these opportunities can significantly boost your truck driver salary in Canada.

. Join a Union

Unionized truck drivers often earn more than their non-union counterparts. Unions negotiate better wages, benefits, and working conditions on behalf of their members, ensuring you get fair compensation for your work.

The Teamsters Canada is one of the largest unions representing truck drivers in the country. Membership can offer job security, access to legal protection, and improved benefits, all of which contribute to a higher salary in the long term.

. Negotiate Your Pay and Benefits

One of the simplest yet most overlooked ways to increase your truck driver salary in Canada is by negotiating your compensation. If you have the qualifications, experience, and a solid track record, don’t be afraid to ask for more.

When negotiating, consider the following:

Base Salary: Ask for a raise based on your qualifications and market standards. Research salaries for truck drivers in your region to support your request.

Performance Bonuses: Many companies offer bonuses for safe driving records, on-time deliveries, or fuel efficiency.

Benefits and Perks: In addition to base pay, negotiate for better benefits, such as health insurance, retirement contributions, or paid time off.

. Consider Becoming an Owner-Operator

If you're looking for the highest potential earnings, consider becoming an owner-operator. As an owner-operator, you own your truck and contract your services to various companies. While this comes with added responsibilities like maintenance and insurance costs, the earning potential can be much higher than being a company driver.

Here are some benefits of being an owner-operator:

Control Over Rates: You can set your own rates and choose which jobs to accept.

Higher Pay Per Mile: Owner-operators typically earn more per mile than company drivers.

Tax Deductions: You can deduct expenses related to your business, such as fuel, maintenance, and insurance, which can increase your net income.

While the initial investment may be high, becoming an owner-operator is a long-term strategy for increasing your truck driver salary in Canada.

The truck driving industry in Canada offers a wide range of opportunities for those willing to put in the time and effort to enhance their skills, gain experience, and explore different routes and certifications. Whether you're looking to upgrade your qualifications, negotiate better pay, or even consider becoming an owner-operator, there are numerous ways to increase your truck driver salary in Canada.

By following the tips outlined in this blog, you can position yourself for financial success in the trucking industry.

How to Stay Competitive When Starting a Trucking Company in Canada

Starting a trucking company in Canada is an exciting yet challenging venture. The industry is highly competitive, and new entrants must navigate a landscape filled with seasoned players. To ensure your business stands out and thrives, it’s essential to implement strategies that keep you competitive. This blog will guide you through the crucial steps on how to stay competitive when starting a trucking company in Canada, helping you build a successful business from the ground up.

. Understand the Market and Identify Your Niche

The first step to staying competitive is thoroughly understanding the Canadian trucking market. Research the current trends, demands, and challenges in the industry. Identify gaps in the market that your trucking company can fill. Specializing in a particular niche, such as refrigerated trucking, hazardous materials transportation, or long-haul routes, can help you stand out from the competition. Focusing on a specific area will allow you to tailor your services to meet the unique needs of that market, making your business more attractive to potential clients.

. Invest in Quality Equipment and Technology

When starting a trucking company in Canada, investing in high-quality equipment and technology is crucial. Reliable trucks, trailers, and equipment not only ensure smooth operations but also help in reducing downtime and maintenance costs. Moreover, embracing modern technology like GPS tracking, Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs), and fleet management software can streamline your operations and improve efficiency. These technologies allow you to monitor your fleet in real-time, optimize routes, and comply with regulatory requirements, giving your business a competitive edge.

. Focus on Building Strong Relationships

Building strong relationships with customers, suppliers, and partners is key to staying competitive in the trucking industry. Provide exceptional customer service by ensuring timely deliveries, maintaining clear communication, and being responsive to customer needs. Developing long-term relationships with your suppliers can also lead to better pricing and priority service, which can be crucial in times of high demand. Networking with other businesses in the industry can open doors to partnerships, collaborations, and new opportunities.

. Hire and Retain Skilled Drivers

Your drivers are the backbone of your trucking company. Hiring skilled, experienced, and reliable drivers is essential to ensure safe and timely deliveries. Offer competitive salaries, benefits, and incentives to attract top talent. Additionally, investing in ongoing training and development programs for your drivers can improve their skills and job satisfaction, reducing turnover rates. A stable and motivated workforce will enhance your company’s reputation and contribute to long-term success.

. Prioritize Compliance and Safety

Compliance with regulations and safety standards is non-negotiable in the trucking industry. Failing to adhere to these can result in hefty fines, legal issues, and damage to your reputation. Ensure that your trucking company is fully compliant with all federal and provincial regulations, including those related to driver hours, vehicle maintenance, and cargo safety. Regularly conduct safety training for your drivers and staff to minimize accidents and incidents. A strong commitment to safety and compliance will not only protect your business but also build trust with your customers.

. Implement Effective Cost Management

Managing costs effectively is vital when starting a trucking company in Canada. Keep track of all your expenses, from fuel and maintenance to insurance and permits. Implement cost-saving measures like optimizing routes, reducing idle time, and maintaining your fleet regularly to avoid costly breakdowns. Additionally, consider negotiating better rates with suppliers and exploring bulk purchasing options for essential supplies. Efficient cost management will improve your profit margins and allow you to offer competitive pricing to your customers.

. Leverage Marketing and Branding

In a competitive industry like trucking, marketing and branding play a crucial role in attracting customers. Develop a strong brand identity that reflects your company’s values, services, and unique selling points. Create a professional website and maintain an active presence on social media platforms to reach a wider audience. Utilize digital marketing strategies such as search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, and email marketing to increase your visibility online. Building a recognizable brand will make your trucking company more memorable and trustworthy in the eyes of potential clients.

Staying competitive when starting a trucking company in Canada requires a strategic approach, from understanding the market to implementing effective cost management. By focusing on quality, building strong relationships, and leveraging technology, you can carve out a successful niche in this dynamic industry. Prioritizing compliance, safety, and marketing will further strengthen your position, helping your business grow and thrive.
