Roof Chalk 47406 40
Started by JimGary
Just wondering what you olde....I mean more experienced guys use to mark your roofs. I use welders chalk, its hard and lasts a while, and its not as messy as colored sidewalk chalk. But is is hard to see on a grey 3 tab or white roof. I was walking the roofs on a local school district with some 'engineers', and they used a colored chalk but I couldnt get close enough to see what kind it was. I followed one guy who used electrical tape&160; in an arrow shape to point, but that is too much troubl...

Xact Disto Integration 4112 1
Started by ihcalan
I would like to hear from someone who is actually using a Disto w/ Xact.&160; My 'vision' is that I&160;can measure a room with a disto and then click a few buttons and have a sketch in Xact.
However, my research seems to indicate that I need to sync the disto with xact, then type in measurements on the disto and they will show up in xact.&160; That is completely useless for multiple reasons.
Anyone

Helpful Equipment 3881 5
Started by RandyC
Somethings I'll be using this storm to send the insured a message that I care about their home are booties.&160; For a few cents each you can get a good supply of slip over booties at any medical supply house.&160; When you have to go inside the house after a walk around in the mud or a trip over a flat roof with fresh cold tar patching materials, just slip these over your shoes and in you go.&160;

If it don't fit... adjust it.

Hey! I am new to adjusting. I have been a contractor, and also have an insurance background, and I am going into adjusting because several adjusters that I know have told me that I would be good at it (and my remodeling business has gone down by 80 in the last 3 yrs!). I expect it to be hard work and long hours, but I'm doing that already and making next to nothing!
I have been talking to adjusters, reading forums, and doing everything that I can to make sure that I am as prepared...

Vehicle and Ladder 14260 21
Started by Boone
What type of vehicle do you drive and What ladder do you use
I am currently driving an F-250 Diesel and using a 24' extension ladder.&160; I handle mostly daily claims and average 3200 miles a month. I love having a big truck, but fuel prices are forcing me to look for a smaller vehicle. I am having a hard time finding a way to transport the ladder. Roof racks will be my only option, but on the small cars the ladder hangs off the racks a long way. Would like to hear from others on the issue.
