My father owned Global Adjusters for over 35 years.
He tried to get me into the business and I went on a few trips with him.
Not my cup of tea - especially the owner/business side of it; but the work could be interesting and as Azorian said - the money could be very good.
Near the end of his life though, the insurance companies had started to downsize their use of independent insurance adjusters. They had decided that it was - you guessed it - cheaper to use their own people. So they pull in adjusters from all over the place who might have automobile adjusting experience for example and give them a very quick crash course and send them off to meet TiredSoul.
He said that it was just the right time to GET OUT of the business (at least on the owning the business side). He said the final few years were spent mostly cleaning up the mistakes for the big companies when they would finally relent and hire GA on a much smaller scale after running into so many problems.
So Azorian - are you saying that the big insurance companies have gone back to using contracted adjusters now?
