Same when you start out with a load on your trailer any time. Make the adjustment to the controler and make sure the trailer is not pushing you when you stop. I just brought a load back from Oklahoma with a UHaul trailer. They work fine out on the road but don't park in a spot that is down hill with a load on with no forward outlet. The brakes lock up and you get to spin the truck tires with out moving the trailer. Then you can get someone with a chain to pull the trailer so you can get up the grade.
