Most likely the problem is either trailer suspension related, or the trailer is in need of an alignment. I would check the suspension first to see if anything looks visibly worn or broken and replace as necessary. If nothing looks out of place I would take the trailer to a shop that can do alignments on tandem axle trailers and have them check the alignment.
