According to Nigeria Today, this court has been set up to handle and curb overloading in trucks, and other vehicles.
In an interview with journalists, the Unit Commander, Leye Adegboyega, said the FRSC had declared war on overloading, as it could lead to Road Traffic Crashes (RTC).

“FRSC has observed a flagrant disregard for regulations on loading by motorists, especially commercial vehicle drivers and the corps has constituted measures to curtail this negative trend.
These acts are capable of affecting the driver, the vehicle and road. The corps has declared total war against overloading on our roads and once found culpable, the offender will be charged to court immediately for prosecution.
It is necessary to emphasise and educate the motorists on the need to take safety precautions very seriously while commuting as the corps will not tolerate unsafe driving practice on our roads", he said.
He advised all road users to avoid overloading and other forms of traffic violations.

“The Command has been working round the clock to ensure that RTC is reduced to the barest minimum within its jurisdiction, but they need the supports of everyone. Road safety is a shared responsibility. Mobile courts will be held regularly as part of measures to continually instill discipline and curtail the excesses of drivers on the roads", he added.
