    I ran a lawn care crew half a lifetime ago (we all jammed the newest NuMetal bands between lawns so that should tell ya), and my boss loaded my trailer like this one morning. I don’t remember what he put back there but I’m glad I didn’t have to get on the highway.

    That's what weight distribution hitches are for. Buy one, use it.

    This is how to load belongings in a trailer. Weight distribution doesn't apply to a uhaul moving trailer, only a travel trailer. But even with weight distribution that helps alleviate the 15% tongue weight, you can still overload the rear of a trailer. Sway control helps with whipping but doesn't compensate for whipping due to improper loading. That's dangerous!

    Overloading the towbar and rear suspension of the car.

    Also taking weight off the front wheels which can affect steering and braking.
