2 Replies and 3547 Views For Adjusters with a year or two under their belts  3547  2 Started by  mxr618 I finished my first calendar year with 380 daily claims and 33 flood claims with Pilot / Allstate.

2 Replies and 2489 Views NYC CLAIMS- Anyone looking for a roommate?  2489  2 Started by  CharlesP233 I have been working claims in Jersey for the past month, but now I am being sent to NYC. My 3 buddies are being sent home, and the cheapest hotel I can find (that is not an hourly call girl type of hotel) is over $200 with tax. All the temp rooms are filled, and no landlord wants to rent their place by the month. I am clean, and I do not snore. If anyone is interested let me know.
