Description of the problem	The dodge 3500 was east bound in interstate 40 west of cookville, tn. The dodge was pulling an enclosed car trailer loaded with a 1955 chevy show car. The dodge had just passed an 18 wheeled vehicle and was in the left lane. When the pavement changed, a slight bump, the front tires of the dodge began to bounce out of control, aka "the death wobble". Operator was not able to gain control of the dodge and it veered into the right lane and over passing the shoulder halfway into the grass.
