Very curious situation if some dont jump biz at home wont pick up .Too many have broke into the ranks it is now survival of the fit and lean. If you have debt you will be wearing a smock and filing bankruptcy. If you spend like no tommorrow you will be broke tommorrow. I appreciate this situation very much when we roll around to another good season in 10 years I will still be ready to pounce! Hope to see some of you at the next starting line.

Sounds like CAS out of Dallas. Tx

It seems about two large carriers and the vendors who work for them and the top adjusters with these vendors number about 200 people. They do not post on this forum and can make a good living doing storm work. Then we have all the rest and this list must have several thousand people with an assorted level of competance. Its just the way it is.

I met a young man who is very sharp and his first storm was Rita and he worked 10 months on Rita. He worked 3 storms in 07 and was called to work Buffalo and then called back not to deploy and then was called to work tornado losses in the outbreak about one month ago. He has closed 96 losses in 3 weeks and is now working files that have been turned back for some reason. Question is he a better adjuster than some one you know?

My answer is he is doing something right.......and if I was in charge I may be doing the same as his boss.
