George, I can't tell from your picture, but some bumper hitch trailers are prone to bump surge if they are not level, which is what I think you are experiencing. It may occur with bump surge prone trailers any time, empty or loaded, that the trailer is not dead level. One of five bumper pull trailers that I tow is so noticeable that if I am going over five miles, I will adjust the hitch to level it before leaving. It is a factory built 7'x 18' 12,000gvw tandem axle trailer with ST 235-85-16 load range E tires that I tow with a 93 Dodge D350 dually diesel that is in excellent shape. Once I pick up a load, I level the trailer again to keep from getting beat up. Once level within 1/2", measured bottom of deck to ground front and back, it pulls great. If you try to pull it 4" high in the front you are in for more of a beating than I want.
