Should you work from home as an independent adjuster? | Desk vs Field, etc.

[@christybingham6628]

This was filmed early 2022. Here we are in early 2023 and I've completed two deployments and countless daily's. I'd say it's going pretty darn well!

So glad to hear congrats !!!

@Christ where did you get your training for daily claims

When you say you got deployments do you mean you go out in the field?

GREAT video! So informative!!! I appreciate everything y'all do!!

Lots of great comments and questions between you and Christy. Thanks!

First I want to say thank you and thank you for always sharing and always answering our questions. So, we just had a tornado in NC today. I was thinking I should head to the damaged sites to get some free training. What do you think about me doing that?

[@AdjusterTV]

If they are offering free training, sure. Reach out to the major IA firms. Lots of free info here for that: adjustertv.com/road-to-the-storm-claims-adjuster-guide

[@SOLARELLISCOUNTY]

Thanks! Why is the Minnesota license a big one? Winter storms? Thanks!

Is the cat survival school info still available?

[@AdjusterTV]

No, but we do have new trainings at adjustertvplus.com

Im currently getting licensed ans State Farm im now in the interviewing with them for an adjuster. Will this help getting on with Pilot etc?

[@robmartin1516]

Some firms like Renfroe require rope and harness adjusters to have a 28 ft. Extension ladder. You’ll find 250 lb rated ladders in the hardware stores, but you can order a 28 foot ladder rated for 225 lbs (therefore lighter) from them.

Maybe someone can answer my question. Is it possible to start out as an independent adjuster, doing remote (work from home) auto claims? I have a career and a ton of experience already in collision repair. As a technician and estimating. I am physically unable to do any on-site work due to my remote location. But I’m curious if it’s possible to start out doing this.

[@ninia4235]

Yes. I do Total Loss. This is my first deployment and I have no experience. They sent out equipment and it’s remote! Very possible. Good luck!!!

[@ghost2cipz]

@@ninia4235 How did you waited for your first deployment after receiving your license and certs? I prefer doing IA work from home or daily field auto claims in my area.

[@mandym4913]

@@ghost2cipz I work in total loss too. And started with no experience. I got my first deployment about a week after I got my State Farm auto cert. I work with Eberl on a State Farm contract The key is to getting multiple states licenses so you’re marketable

@@quierafreer2416 get on lots of IA rosters and get your State Farm auto certification. Try and snag a few costal states too. That will help. My deployment is hourly through State Farm. 😊

Is there a coupon code for adjuster pro to take the Texas All-Lines Adjuster Pre-Licensing?

[@AdjusterTV]

AdjusterPro doesn't do coupons but they're very reasonably priced for licensing.

[@achickfromthebricks]

Try SD2022 or SD2023

If you can't carry your tools for work you can ask the home owner to do it for you.

Why Is New York such a banger?

[@christybingham6628]

The New York license test is notoriously difficult to pass. I studied day and night for 3 weeks straight and the test was difficult to say the least.

[@lindapendley7073]

@@christybingham6628 is it because of proprietary laws or just more detailed in knowledge requirements?

[@mpower2media824]

​@@lindapendley7073 there are more sections they test on. Marine, aircraft, workers comp, farm. Lots of little areas that make up a lot of points. But the test is through psi. They phrase the questions really differently, it takes more concentration to answer what the question is really asking. Totally doable to pass first try as long as you take the time to study for it.
