I operate Heavy Equipment & Cargo Claims Consultants, LLC directly out of Greeneville, Tennessee. From this central office, I handle remote desk adjusting, transport claims consulting, and nationwide file coordination for the motor carrier insurance sector.

I am fully licensed as an independent claims adjuster in twenty-six states: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming. I also legally service fifteen additional states where adjuster licensing is not required, providing comprehensive claims desk adjusting across a forty-one state geographic footprint.

I bring 43 years of specialized industry experience to every single assignment. My deep background spans hands-on field adjusting, transport corporate claims management, and senior leadership handling complex third-party administrator (TPA) motor carrier programs.

I specialize in serving motor carrier insurance companies, third-party administrators (TPAs), and commercial trucking fleets with self-insured retentions (SIR). I also support transport risk management professionals and corporate decision-makers facing claims overload.

I am an MCIEF Teaching Fellow, a certified Detroit Power Train technician, and a Freightliner and Western Star specialist. I also hold advanced NIASE certifications as a Master Mechanic and Master Body/Frame Technician.

I handle physical damage assessments for commercial tractors and trailers, agricultural machinery, and off-road transport equipment. Additionally, my technical adjusting expertise extends to managing cargo transit damage and marine vessel claims up to forty-six feet.

When a physical inspection is required, I schedule and dispatch qualified local heavy equipment field appraisers. They thoroughly inspect the asset to provide organized photographic evidence packages alongside standard-aligned, line-item repair estimates.

I eliminate administrative fluff by delivering concise, fact-based reporting. I maintain a steady stream of telephonic updates and captioned text summaries that track file milestones, protect reserve documentation, and keep all involved transport stakeholders aligned.

Yes. I conduct comprehensive policy coverage reviews to determine claim eligibility, pinpoint exclusions or gaps, and evaluate self-insured retention (SIR) thresholds. This ensures completely accurate loss valuations and compliant claim payment routing.

I provide highly cost-effective independent consulting and desk adjusting services. I strictly maintain a completely transparent, clear, and concise invoicing process that eliminates unexpected costs while significantly lowering overall claim file cycle times.

By focusing on concise reporting, clear next steps, and ongoing communication, we eliminate delays caused by unclear documentation or excessive back-and-forth, speeding claims toward resolution.
