TUCSON, Ariz. — Brokers attending the 2010 Transportation Intermediaries Association convention and trade show here were warned to beware of financial services firms that allow them to skirt federal requirements that they post a $10,000 surety bond.

Brokers are facing a number of critical new challenges as the economy recovers and government intervention threatens the business environment, industry experts said.
