BE A “STORM SAVAGE”
THE WORLD OF INSURANCE CLAIMS
Adjusting can prove to be more physically and emotionally taxing than the “job description” may read. “A 40-hour work week is a part-time job” – welcome to the catastrophe.
After being deployed to a claims site post a major “event”, discovering that you are under-equipped and/or ill-prepared for the work at hand can be humbling to say the least – a situation that neither a new licensee nor a seasoned adjuster ever wants to experience. Catastrophe sites are fast-paced, unforgiving, chaotic environments where the ability to adapt and overcome is rewarded by more work, longer hours and less sleep. It is work worth doing, but it is not easy.
In the words of Robbie Babson, our founder’s mentor and manager, “You’re an adjuster… Adjust!” It’s as important to be prepared with the equipment to get the job done as it is to be resilient, proficient, surefooted, and confident. In this business, you need all the necessary tools at your fingertips in order to be successful.
A DAY IN THE LIFE
After disaster strikes, deployed insurance adjusters are under constant pressure to close as many claims as possible, and to do so accurately, effectively and expediently. Upon arrival on site post-catastrophic event, an adjuster or storm contractor may often find their assigned area to be as described… catastrophic. Homes are partially submerged under water. The general area may be lacking power as well as readily available fuel. Availability of tools necessary to perform the work deployed to complete can be scarce, as is prepared food. It can be commonplace to not be able to find lodging to get a good night’s sleep (I myself have slept in my truck countless times during my 13 Hurricane “cats”) which only adds to the challenge of staying sharp and focused. This is the gritty career path you have chosen; to help others recover in spite of turmoil. Now you’ve got it. Adjust.
The role of on-site claims adjusting, as well as the roles of mitigating and reconstructing contractors, requires long hours, physical strength, mental and physical stamina, and a high anxiety threshold; all of which, during a steady 16 hour work day, tends to take a toll. No excuses and no complaints. Victory loves preparation. Trips back and forth to your vehicle for a tool you forgot in order to get the job done… again? They can become the straw that breaks the camel’s back. The wasted time and steps are inexcusable and will become agonizing and frustrating as well as time-consuming…tearing at the very fabric of your mettle and your ability to perform as a professional.

Did You Know…
The BullyBag & Tool Company Inc. was born out of founder Jerod Allen’s own quest to find an adequate tool pouch while he was working as a claims adjuster back in 2011. Frustrated at the lack of tool pouch options for adjusters and estimators on the market, he began designing his own. After five years of developing what came to be known as the Bullybag Ultra Pouch, and hundreds of interviews with contractors and adjusters later between his own catastrophe deployments, he began field testing his prototypes.
While working Hurricane Irma, Jerod partnered with the weaponry bags manufacturer for the United States Marine Corps, and after dozens of tiresome revisions, the BullyBag Ultra Pouch, in all of its humble glory, was born.
