Yes Paul, try the Hardware Forum, it provides information on the "tools of the trade". In the Hardware Forum we have discussions on Ladders, shoes, cameras, computers, Cat Vehicles, measuring devices and so on. If you have any questions on the "tools of the trade" try that section first. |

Paul, we can set one up. Tell us a little more about what you would like to see in such a section. How can we be more helpful to you and all the other Newbees?

Hi, I'm a licensed Private Investigator in Houston, TX, looking for the best way to get into catastrophe adjusting. I have a background in property, casualty, auto and work comp claims from jobs I had in Los Angeles in the '80s, (2 years). I've found the Dearborn-Leonard Schools in Houston area that provide training for Texas 04 license; property, fire, allied lines and allied marine, but there must be a way to find a sponsoring agency that can help defer the cost of school, or replace it with in-house training for licensing? Does anyone have any suggestions, agencies, contacts that might help me out?
Also, my Mom is having health problems in Iowa. If possible, I'm hoping to find a way to work out of Iowa temporarily (3-4 months) and then return to Texas as a home base where I am licensed as a PI. There is an 04 class coming up in early June 2000 in Houston, so I have some time to work with, but maybe I would be better off getting some kind of adjusting license in Iowa? But I'm leaning towards taking the class which I think is mandatory for licensing requirements in Texas.
Ultimately, I would like to travel world-wide on assignments and report to home office(s) via Internet/fax etc. Maybe eventually years from now, working on staff or with an agency SIU. Does this sound like a realistic scenario? Would appreciate any helpful comments or suggestions.
Thanks, Mark |

I have been a indipendent catastrophe for one year. I continually read of adjusters working for more than one company. I would love to remain loyal to one company but the loyalty does not pay bills if the company cannot muster enough work. I would like to become more marketable but at the same time I don't want everyone I think I am a fly by night employee. Can you make any reccomendations on how to approach this matter. Also what are industry attitudes towards this subject. |

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK JIM FLYNT AND CHUCK DEATON FOR ALL THERE HELP. I HAVE JUST COMPLETED MY LICENSING REQUIREMENTS HERE IN TEXAS FOR PROPERTY
ADJUSTING, AND CHECKED THE CADO WEBSITE FOR INFO ABOUT GETTING STARTED IN THIS BUSINESS. IF IT WASN'T FOR HAVING READ CHUCK DEATON'S "CAT 101"
AND JIM FLYNT'S "NEWBEE TRAINING" I WOULD NOT HAVE ANY OF THE TOOLS I NOW HAVE TO INCREASE MY EXPERTISE AND TO ATTACK THIS JOB SEARCH EFFECTIVELY. CHUCK DEATON AND JIM FLYNT HAVE SAVED ME COUNTLESS HOURS OF FRUSTRATION WITH THEIR IMMENSE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE. |

If you want E and O coverage and bennifets become a member in NACA or get on with a company that supplies the coverage. |

Steve:
Assuming you are a young man, contact any insurance company in your area and talk to their human resources department. The larger the carrier the better. Many companies have training programs that start you off as an inside representative (handling losses over the phone) then move you to an outside (field adjuster) position. |

I would like to know where to go and who I need to get a hold of to try to become an insurance adjuster. Thank you |
