MAINE, Maine — Maine lobsters need to arrive alive at their destinations, and a proposal before the Maine Legislature is aimed at making it more certain that happens.
Democratic Sen. Eloise Vitelli of Arrowsic introduced a bill on Tuesday that would exempt truck drivers from transporting live lobsters from some hours-of-service restrictions.
Vitelli said the proposal would extend an exemption already granted to transporters of potatoes, broccoli and livestock.
