Jason Vanderpool
@jasonvanderpool
I am an experienced multi-line adjuster specializing in commercial trucking and remote estimating.
What I'm looking for
I have 35+ years of hands-on experience in collision repair, insurance claims, and remote appraisal, focused on heavy and commercial vehicle damage assessment and multi-line claims handling. I work rigorously to ensure accurate estimates, guideline compliance, and efficient settlements.
I founded and grew a premium collision business and later managed operations and DRP programs for multi-location and national clients, delivering measurable results such as significant revenue growth and a 98% customer satisfaction index. I hold I-CAR Platinum Estimator (Pro Level 2) and multiple OEM estimator certifications and am proficient with CCC ONE, Audatex, and Mitchell Cloud Estimating.
I provide remote estimating, auditing, and consulting services that streamline workflow, support supplement strategies, and resolve carrier discrepancies to reach fair settlements. I am committed to improving cycle time, maintaining high approval rates, and advising shops and fleets on OEM documentation and repair strategies.
