About the role

ACBL Transportation Services LLC seeks Captains and Pilots for mainline vessels operating primarily on the Canal with duties spanning the Inland river system. The role includes a 28/14 or 28/28 rotation, ensuring safety for crew, vessel and cargo, and maintaining all required logs and compliance with security plans. You will lead crew, enforce policies, manage budgets, and coordinate with USCG and lock personnel.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
