Ladder Assist AMA
This is a mix of a rant and a Q&A…
I am a Ladder Assist for one of the big named companies, we work for pretty much every P&C insurance carrier in the state I reside. I have been with my company for 2 years and before that I was a desk adjuster with Pilot CAT.
I hold my adjusting license in all of the hurricane prone states in the SE. I am also HAAG certified. As well as Xact 1 and 2.
AMA about this job. Most of you desk adjusters see our reports and if you’re in the field you deal with us directly. I know plenty of adjusters who are always curious about what it is like on our side.
RANT: I enjoy working for every insurance company, BUT big red. I’m convinced that they only hire folks who have no people skills. SF adjusters are the only ones who treat us like we have no understanding of anything. We do your entire job for you but writing the estimate while climbing in 100 degree temps (not even talking about the shingle temps).
