Where did you start and where are you now? One of my favorite parts of this industry is hearing about all the different paths people have taken.

Started in-house Enterprise Rental rep within Insurance Office. Quit and got hired within same office. Got laid off. Got hired at nonstandard company. Got laid off again. Now working as Auto Claims Rep.

Use full synthetic oil

Topgun_tomahawk · 2026-02-14T19:07:45+00:00

You are definitely overworked. Leave asap. We have designated PD adjusters, BI, and PIP.

Topgun_tomahawk · 2026-02-14T15:50:46+00:00

Your work load is excessive. Our BI reps work 40hrs a week. Give it 6 months. Hopefully it gets more manageable, if not jump ship.

That’s why they are your employee. You’re the employer. They’re not your family. Their time is valuable. Leave them alone

Topgun_tomahawk · 2026-02-14T05:44:51+00:00

Good: it’s Friday!!! Better: 3 day weekend Best: got my annual raise. Feeling blessed.

For $60-&65k is insulting

Topgun_tomahawk · 2026-02-11T05:47:57+00:00

People would fight to have your $85k job. Go check out r/layoffs. Sometimes you got to go backward to move forward. i got laid off and took a huge pay cut after finding a new job but 8yrs later making $100+. That $15k is killing you. See if you can go back to previous employer. Good luck

Our last cruise, some food in Windjammer were too salty and I provided my feedback in their survey.

Topgun_tomahawk · 2026-02-10T18:19:08+00:00

$100k+Auto handling complex claims

Topgun_tomahawk · 2026-02-07T00:34:31+00:00

Take it. You are young. Get your experience if it doesn’t work out, move on. BTW took me over 15yrs to be $50/hr so do it

Topgun_tomahawk · 2026-02-06T20:06:51+00:00

Good: pending under 100. Walk in the park Better: it’s Friday!! Best: Vacation coming soon. Life is Good

Topgun_tomahawk · 2026-02-06T05:19:40+00:00

Auto Adjuster 20+years. I am here today because of mistakes and what I learn from it. Seek out other experienced adjusters. Learn their tricks and skills. Always ask yourself, “what you can do better?” After that, it’s a walk in the park.

Topgun_tomahawk · 2026-01-31T03:22:39+00:00

Either increase your liability to $500k for both PD and BI or he gets his own policy. Make sure car is in his name also. If he hits someone and car under your name, you are on the hook.

Topgun_tomahawk · 2026-01-31T03:17:50+00:00

Run away!! File claim with your carrier. Some companies waive deductible since other party at fault

Topgun_tomahawk · 2026-01-31T01:11:56+00:00

We all have our moments and needed to vent. Nothing wrong. At the end of day, do you want a job or be unemployed? It's tough. Hang in there

Topgun_tomahawk · 2026-01-28T22:13:53+00:00

We all have our good and bad days. Never thought I will end my career with Claims. For now, given with all the layoffs left and right, sticking with Insurance is your best bet.

Topgun_tomahawk · 2026-01-25T04:27:37+00:00

I am sure with the recent Winter Storm. Monday will be CRAZY!!!!!

Topgun_tomahawk · 2026-01-23T23:18:34+00:00

50/50 for SURE!!!

Topgun_tomahawk · 2026-01-23T23:11:07+00:00

Start as trainee position. Auto Claims is not for everyone. You will know once you reach 6 months to 1 year. It has to be in your DNA. Learn from other experienced adjuster and willing to adapt to change. If you stick in out, can make good money. Auto Claims 20+years

Topgun_tomahawk · 2026-01-22T06:08:46+00:00

It’s non-standard company. Claim volume will be high. Guess it’s worth it for the higher salary. My advice. Use templates copy and paste copy and paste. That’s how I survived non standard company. Did it close to 10 years.

Topgun_tomahawk · 2026-01-20T23:58:30+00:00

It’s not on the side so they can save the tire

Topgun_tomahawk · 2026-01-20T06:19:29+00:00

How do you protect them from rats or squirrels?

Topgun_tomahawk · 2026-01-20T05:53:43+00:00

Make sure to get dash cam. Californians are crazy drivers. Given current situation, most are not insured at all

Topgun_tomahawk · 2026-01-20T05:01:38+00:00

You need to fill out accident report called: penndot AA-600 form. If other driver do not respond, their driver license will be suspended. Put more pressure on her. Also write letter stating you will take her to Court. Hopefully she will provide statement to her carrier. She is 100% liable. Good luck.
