^Description? Yes, it's like death wobble on a SFA vehicle. If you "think" you had death wobble or uncontrollable trailer sway, you didn't.
If either of those things happen there is no doubt in your mind that it happened. And with sway, there is a good chance you could end up rubber side up.
FWIW, with most never experiencing this, there is only 1 solution I'm aware of, if one is traveling at highway speeds and that is to get good tension between the truck and trailer until she's straight and then get slowed down immediately before the swaying gets going again.
Best option if you have electric or e over h trailer brakes is hammer the trailer brakes while still trying to accelerate gently. If no trailer brakes or surge brakes...FLOOR IT. Get as much tension between the 2 units as quickly as you can and then get on the binders AFTER as soon as it's straightened out.....and pray!
