I would like to suggest auto adjusting as a potential second career for my husband. He is currently a diesel mechanic, though his schooling was originally in basic automotive mechanics, and his company has a couple of fleet contracts with companies that have cars and smaller pickup/box trucks. He has also done some restoration projects, etc., so I don't feel this is a stretch for his knowledge base/comfort zone (in terms of what he'd be evaluating). I am wondering if some of you might be able to comment on the daily life of an auto adjuster. We haven't had any accidents for quite a while, and my most recent experience with an adjuster was property damage from a wind storm. That adjuster seemed to determine the damaged structural areas, enter it into a program (with probably a few other details) and it produced the report without a whole lot of independent composition from him.
I realize that in asking 'what do you do on a daily basis' is probably affected by state requirements, your company of employment (if you're not independent), etc. Clearly, you have to evaluate the damage to the vehicle, ...and of course, some form of report has to be generated for the insured and the company (is it common for a program to handle this?). Outside of that, I can't really imagine. I would appreciate any information or insight you can offer.
