Not making a comment on the product- probably better if you search and call when you're sitting regardless of the source. You do not want to be caught holding a phone much less dialing it.

2 cents worth of free advice-

I spoke with the folks that write the code and it would not be easy to single out just the phone number to make it bold due to the way the code is written.

It's illegal. Period. There are also CSA score hits. And more....more and more states are jumping on this. I am a driver....23 years and going...still. This is of major concern to me and the outfit I drive for.....it's major points and fines. I do not know about NC....but truckers are risking their lively hoods if they get caught. Don't have my CSA book handy but this is how it is here.....50 points or more on CSA....not getting hired to drive here. And we ain't the only outfit with a policy like that. There is talk in federal circles now about outlawing phones in trucks period.

Edited...

Want to add this.

The CSA score for getting caught with a handheld phone is 10 points. The first year modifier is 3. Therefore, getting caught will cost a driver 30 points on that one CSA bit. Again, 50 or above? No job here. 10 is very high. It shows how serious the feds are taking this issue.
