Thanks for the welcome, guys. An independent usually works for smaller companies that don't enough (or any) claims staff in a given area. While I personally have State Farm, my business is with companies like Great American, Infinity, Leader, Atlanta Casualty, etc. I do look at older cars as well. In the last month I've handled claims on a '27 Chevy truck, a '47 Ford hot rod (a nice 4-dr sedan), a kit car Cobra, a heavily modified '86 Camaro drag car, and a '85 Olds Cutlass Supreme. These cars are interesting and break up the boredom of the evry day car.
