Independent Claims Adjuster Apprentice Program 14006 16
Started by CatAdjusterX
Hello folks
Of many important topics discussed on most ADJUSTER related websites, the most common subject and easily the most 'contentious' topic seems to be the mass exodus of individuals that have swelled our ranks long past the point of 'SATURATION'
We can almost trace this exodus to it's beginning as I myself came to this industry(along with many others) back in 2004 in response to the 4 hurricanes that made land...

State Farm Certification 11268 4
Started by jdacree
I just took my State Farm Cert, sponsered by Renfroes, in Ft Worth 2 weeks ago. This class, according to the Renfroes instructors, was the first use of the REVISED IDL, and test. The first testing on policy yielded a fail rate of 50. Part of the problem was that the test contained a number of 'tree' coverage questions that were not covered in enough detail during the IDL, and required utilizing about 1/3 of the training time the next day to clarify. Another area that wa...

I have been seeing more and more of these post since 2005. Its a good place to make a decent living, but not 100 of the people who try succeed. The present system is a vendor(contractor) stands between you and the insurance company who is the person that needs your work product. You will need about 60 days training to do a passable job. many people have gone further with less, but they got over their head and had someone to pull them out.

Starting out at Pilot 11396 11
Started by RSC
I started out at Pilot (actually CMS) a month ago as an O/A buddy but I was snatched up by Dispatch after a week. My goal is to become an OA and I feel like I can move up rather quickly, but I have some questions about becoming an adjuster. First, what licenses should I get first (Alabama is obviously my home state) Second, can I become an inside adjuster with out being 'pilot' Finally, how much do inside adjusters make

Thanks

I am looking for someone to ride with in San Antonio Texas as often as they will allow from once and done to twice a week. I will be taking the Adjuster Class in the next month. By that time I will have my Basic gear as I know it. I want to be as prepared as possible when my constant persistence pays off and I get put on a storm. Jason

Training School Wars and Integrity 4640 16
Started by JimAustin
So many posts i read on this forum are about certain schools being dishonest and how you shouldn't attend their classes or how one company is so much better than the other. Some very seasoned and experienced adjusters have posted several replies on this site that in my opinion they should be ashamed of. Where has the honor gone in our industry Each and every one of you that are professional bloggers on this site. Take a good look in the mirror and ask yourselves if maybe...

Alabama Non-Resident Licensure; Office Requirement 3977 2
Started by jtcwik
Good Morning!Recently I have encountered some push back from the Alabama DOI that requires an office location for a non-resident adjuster license. This in and of itself is in direct contradiction with a 'non-resident' status. Also, the statute was written pre-internet in 1971. It is my belief that the intent of the law was for records access, which at the time and most of us 'seasoned' professionals will recall, consisted of paper files. My firm currently uses an Online C...

Hazmat for the upcoming Hurricane Season 5228 13
Started by wstj
I'm curious about the effect of the recent oil spill,(leak), on the upcoming hurricane season with respect to training. The introduction of oil into the storm surge is going to make an already difficult task considerably worse. And I wounder about whether each adjuster will be required to go through some sort of hazmat training. The EPA will surely be all over it. Would such training be handled at the storm site or would it make sense to be proactive and attend a class, somewhere And where migh...

Certifications and licenses guarantee a worse product 4186 18
Started by Bobabooey
Adjusting has become similar to a lot of business. The government forces adjusters or agents or plumbers or whatever to get licenses. This does several things. It raises revenue for the governent, it allows the government to get involved in private business, and it makes a lot of money for schools that open that make a profit off of the governments law. No longer is it important to have experience and knowledge. It has been replaced by certifications and licenses. For instance if you try...
