Maritime

Marine Service Technicians
Career and Education information along with Job and Salary Data by Metropolitan Area. Part of The Riley Guide's Career Research Center
SIU Training Program for the US Maritime Industry
...The Seafarers International Union operates an entry level training program for young people seeking careers in the US maritime industry. This Unlicensed Apprentice Program is free of charge and program graduates receive a US Merchant Mariners Document/Ordinary Seaman with Water Survival and Fire Fighting Endorsements. Upon successful completion of the program, each Unlicensed Apprentice is guaranteed a job aboard a US Flag Merchant Vessel contracted to the Seafarers International Union. Veterans of the U.S. Navy or the U.S. Coast Guard who possess shipboard ratings may be eligible for participation in an abbreviated training program. The SIU, Atlantic, Gulf, Lakes and Inland Waters District, AFL-CIO, represents unlicensed United States merchant mariners sailing aboard U.S.-flag vessels in the deep sea, Great Lakes and inland trades. The union also represents licensed U.S. mariners in the Great Lakes and inland sectors.
US Merchant Marine Academy
"The United States Merchant Marine Academy is operated by the Maritime Administration (MARAD), one of the modal agencies of the U.S. Department of Transportation. The Maritime Administration has a general oversight role for the civilian maritime industry, comparable to the role of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in overseeing the civilian aviation industry." While not truly a branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, "in times of war or national security the U.S. merchant marine becomes vital to national security as a 'fourth arm of defense.' Our merchant ships bear the brunt of delivering military supplies overseas to our forces and allies." Graduates of the Academy serve their country by pursuing highly successful careers in the maritime industry and the armed services. This is one of the government-sponsored training academies, so entry is very competitive. You must be nominated by an elected official.

Information on Fishing/Seafood Processing is also available. You may also want to look at Water Resources for information on many careers on the water.

You can pursue opportunities in engineering, transportation, mechanical fields, and resource protection, and they actively pursue veterans and separating military personnel to help fill open positions.
JustRail.net
...jobs in the railway industry for all kinds of folks. Primarily UK but some other listings too. Part of the JobsGroup.net family of niche sites.
NES Track
...the rail recruitment specialist division of the NES Group specializing in contract and permanent opportunities throughout the UK rail industry. You can look at these opportunities by selecting any category from the left menu or by searching jobs in the box provided on the front page. NES Track is also willing to work with non-UK candidates who offer skills covering areas experiences shortages at this time. Beyond the listings you will find excellent articles on career management, CV and resume preparation, working in the UK, and much more. The best way to apply is by registering a CV on the site, a free service which will also allow you to set up job alerts and to respond quickly to notices of new postings, but if you wish to avoid this you can also use their "quick apply" feature.
RailJobs.com
Yes, you can work on the railroad all the live long day! Search the jobs or post a resume for free.
Rail Jobs Search
...jobs in the rail industry in the UK. Visitors can browse the listings (bottom of the page for those links) and view descriptions of the jobs without registering, but you must register (free) and post some kind of profile in the database to get the contact info. Does look like it has some nice listings. My only gripe -- the Candidate search box on the front page seems to suggest they have job listings from all over the world, but my browsing along with a few quick search attempts doesn't find that to be true. Stick to the UK for now. Partners with ConstructionJobSearch.co.uk and a couple other sites.
Railway-Technology.com
...incredible source of information on the railway industry worldwide -- industry projects, companies who supply the rail industry, and much more . Check out the list of Industry Websites to connect to rail operators all over the world as well as related websites on this topic. The Job & Careers section is operated in conjunction with industryappointments.com, and most of the listings are in the UK.
RailwayPeople.com
...nice site with job listings for the rail industry. Yes, most of the listings are in the UK, but they do have some openings elsewhere. They also offer a directory of UK-based companies involved in this industry. Great resource!
rtmjobs
"In association with Rail Technology Magazine, rtmjobs.com offers rail industry job seekers instant access to a wide variety of the very best rail jobs in the market place. The jobsite carries hundreds of rail vacancies including train drivers, project managers and engineering jobs, along with jobs in many more specialized areas across the rail industry." The vast majority of the jobs here are in the UK, but there are a few in other locations around the world. You can search all you want without registering. When you find something for which you want to submit a resume/CV, you can opt for a "quick application and register later". If you find many things here, I would suggest creating an account and storing a resume here. Check out the related RailJobsBlog too.

Trucking

Delivery Truck Drivers
Truck Drivers
Career and Education information along with Job and Salary Data by Metropolitan Area. Part of The Riley Guide's Career Research Center
BestDriverJobs.com
...listings of jobs for and the companies who hire truckers. Services for the job seekers (i.e., the drivers) are free. You can opt to fill in their secure application which will be made available to the recruiters who search the site or you can review current postings for company or owner-operator drivers and apply directly. Please note that if you opt for their application you will be filling out a very detailed application and you will be agreeing to a full background check by the receiving carrier companies, including a consumer background (i.e. credit) check. I do not see a mailing address on the site, but I am listing it because (1) the name of the owner is given on the contact page, (2) his domain name registration info is public, and (3) I see very high quality listings here. You will have to consider the terms and conditions of the site's secure application and make your own decision there.
Bubbajunk.com
...jobs for truckers (including owner-operator), along with lists of schools and trucking companies. You can view the ads, the lists, and most areas of this site as a non-member, but membership gets you some added features (resume database, newsletter, etc.). Membership is free, does not require you to post your resume, and is kept confidential. Looks good.
Layover.com
Information and news for anyone involved in the trucking industry. The JobNet includes job listings for all facets of this industry from drivers to dispatchers to managers. There is also an online application that allows you to submit a resume to multiple companies without registering; however, registration does allow you to store your resume on this site and edit. My only problem with this application is that it asks for your Social Security number, age, and date of birth, and these are required fields. I would avoid this and go for the resume on the site instead.
Overdrive Digital
..the digital companion to Overdrive Magazine, published by Randall-Reilly Publications. Overdrive is "dedicated to the spirit of the owner operator and to helping you improve your business." You have free access to articles from the print magazine, the Daily Fuel Reports, and numerous listings of opportunities for owners-operators looking for work. You can also register for a free subscription to Overdrive Magazine, either print or digital.
