Heavy truck equipment can be difficult to estimate for a number of reasons. Loss of use, parts availability, depreciation, options, customization packages and nomenclature differences are only some of the reasons. This one-week seminar focuses on semi-tractors, trailers, dump trucks and other specialty hauling vehicles. Know what you are looking at and understand choices of repair to enable accurate estimate writing. FVTC has a fleet of diversely-configured trucks to identify and estimate. Communication between insurance appraisers and repair shops is difficult without understanding vehicle design, nomenclature, repair and parts options. Participants are empowered to write an accurate appraisal with information provided. Benefits of accurate appraisals are: decreased overall repair cycle time, increased customer satisfaction and valid total loss decisions.
