Christy's Questions:
If there's an event like a hurricane, and 50 IA firms are calling / emailing… what do I do? Are the IA firms that I turn down going to be mad and take me off their roster?
As a new IA should I go ahead and take an hourly position during an event?
New IAs agreeing to lower pay seems like a huge point of contention with the seasoned IAs. Doesn't it wind up drag down everyone’s pay?
If I am working daily claims, and a storm hits, how do I shut off new claims and tell the IA firm I've been running dailies for “sorry gotta go!” Will they ever give me dailies again?
How do I know which IA firm to focus on? They all talk a good game… how does a new IA avoid the pitfalls and traps of dealing with shady IA firms?
Considering all of a CAT Field IA’s daily expenses while on site, does a remote adjuster end up making (and keeping) just as much income as a Field IA?
Would it be a smart move as a new IA, to forget about Field at the very beginning and focus on Desk? It seems to me a new IA could learn a hell of a lot of X1 experience by looking over other Field X1 work and learn what both a good file looks like and a bad file looks like, then take that info out in the Field in 6-8 months.
Was it a waste of time for me to get certification after certification after certification? Do IA firms really even look at any of that?
As a brand spanking new IA, with so many other things to learn, would it make sense for me to put in the time, take the NFIP classes, and get my NFIP Mentorship going now?

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!

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?

No, but we do have new trainings at adjustertvplus.com
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.
I watched 33 minutes of this video and it’s more focused on the field side
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?
If you can't carry your tools for work you can ask the home owner to do it for you.
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.
