67 Replies and 47874 Views Ladder Safety    47874  67 Started by  Tom Toll
(Topic has multiple pages1 2 3 4 )
I hope all remember how to set up their ladders to prevent ladder accidents. A safety scenario: Ladder safety while in transport. Our ladders are a necessary tool in order to complete claim assignments. How we carry our ladders is a vital safety concern also. I have seen adjusters put long ladders in the pick up bed with no red flags on the end and do not secure them from flying out of the bed while in transport. That scenario is an accident looking for a place to happen. Always red flag y...

(Topic has multiple pages1 2 3 )
I just went from being an adjuster for a locale to being a CAT adjuster and discovered my CAT boss thinks I should be getting on roofs my old boss would not have expected me to get on.  Anyway, I'm trying to find a post on roof safety equipment (I already have cougar paws) that can be done by an adjuster by himself.  I can't find such a discussion but I'm sure it is in here somewhere or maybe a few people could give me some ideas  I've heard of kneeling boards but can't seem to f...

0 Replies and 2900 Views UAV’S (Drones)  2900  0 Started by  Toddvg I have been searching the WWW trying to figure out if I should upgrade my Drone and if it will be worth the money. Having a Remote Pilots License for several years and flying drones for even longer, I want to make sure the next DRONE I get is the right one for Adjusting work. I have owned several different type of drones but they were all for fun. I currently own DJI Spark, DJI Phantom 4, and a crashed DJI Inspire, and always used the DJI GO app & iPad Mini. Now with all the 3rd party apps ...

4 Replies and 13082 Views Toolbelt Review  13082  4 Started by  BobH I have been a fan of the customtoolbelt.com (cat-man-do) toolbelt for 9 years, and thought I would do a  brief review for those who haven't tried it. This is not an advertisement, I am not being paid. This is an unsolicited opinion to help those who are walking around holding a clipboard in their hands. That is the heart and soul of the customtoolbelt.com system, you don't have to hold anything.  That isn't a big deal for 'lightweight' claims - but if you have ever worked a bad fire...

14 Replies and 10630 Views Helicopter GoPro?  10630  14 Started by  Tom Rongstad I perform multi-line dailies, therefore; minimal roof inspections have occurred in the past few years. Most of the time, an expert is engaged to do so. However, I have always thought about ways that roof inspections will no longer be needed, once the Eagle View type products entered the market a few years ago.  Now, in many years gone past, when I did chase the storms, some of the roofs were very challenging, and there were few options back then. I am talking about the years 1989 - 1995.&n...

1 Replies and 5126 Views Cell Phone Booster?  5126  1 Started by  BurnesAdjusting I've been running claims in remote parts of Texas where Verizon's coverage is spotty.  I've considered getting a sim card for AT&T on a prepay plan or something like that, but it seems to be a PITA to do, not to mention having to use a different phone number and swap the sim cards out all the time. So I want to get a cell phone signal booster for my truck. Have any of you used them  Which brand/model is best and why

4 Replies and 7315 Views Cougar Paws vs Vans, Airwalks, and Chuck Taylors, etc.  7315  4 Started by  BurnesAdjusting I've seen a lot of adjusters that prefer skateboard style shoes (vans and airwalks) or basketball shoes like Chuck Taylors over Cougar Paws for steep slope roofs. It's not that I'm being cheap.  I would just like to explore all options.  Have any of you used any other type of shoe besides Cougar Paws and had success with it For example, I used to use a Nike tennis shoe designed for clay courts.  Loved it up to an 8 and a newer 9.  Then I'd use cougars for anything over tha...

19 Replies and 14243 Views What's the best way to protect your rope over the ridge  14243  19 Started by  nateking82 I just recently got all of the equipment needed for my rope and harness. I've been acquainting myself with it on my roof since its not too steep (7/12) and feel confident in my abilities using it. After a few uses I can tell that the shingles are wearing into my rope and the rope is digging into my ridge pretty well too. My question is, what's the best way to protect your rope over the ridge  I've done my due dilligents in trying to figure this out on my own. I've read several of the othe...

4 Replies and 5843 Views Help Wanted - how to use all this technology  5843  4 Started by  catdaddy Hello all, I have read on these forums some adjusters mention using XactScope on their Ipad for sketching houses, Dragon Naturally Speaking software for labeling photos and narrating scope of repairs and perhaps even their loss reports, entering measurements to XactScope via Disto automatically and perhaps a few other 21st century tricks. I wonder if any of these techno geniuses would be willing to teach an old dog some new tricks. I've had XactScope on my Ipad for at least two years now but ...

(Topic has multiple pages1 2 )
Cant' seem to find a dedicated thread about current adjuster vehicles. A few answers here and there but dated mostly from 2008 or earlier. What vehicle should an adjuster purchase to travel around, do claims work, function professionally, etc I've been driving a Dodge Ram but it's not in condition anymore for Cat adjuster driving mileage. I've been looking at Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Frontier, but over the past 10-years I've seen more and more adjusters using Honda Civic-type 4-cylinder cars, or ...
