Lobsters need to arrive at their destinations alive, so they can be cooked and eaten. A bill has been introduced to the Maine legislature by Democratic Sen. Eloise Vitelli proposing that truck drivers hauling lobsters would be exempt from some hours-of-service restrictions. Haulers of other food products have already been granted these restrictions and keeping the lobster industry alive in Maine may rely on this bill. The bill must first be voted on by the committee before it moves on to the Senate and House of Representatives. Click the link below to read more about this.
