H&W Holdings LLC

Source note: FMCSA's authority row says Active, while its latest logged history action is “Voluntarily suspended” on August 27, 2026. These source statements disagree; the history does not resolve current authority. Check the official records.

Source note: The selected bond filing names Travelers Casualty And Surety Company Of America; other financial-filing rows name Travelers Casualty & Surety Co. Of America. The files do not explain these provider differences. A shared effective date does not establish one consistent policy or insurer; each source row is retained separately.

As of Oct 21, 2026, H&W Holdings LLC in South Point, Ohio has broker authority status “Active”, with an unresolved disagreement between the authority row and its latest logged stop, with 1 suspension or revocation on record.
