The low pressure would have to develop above the trailer for what you described to happen. This isn't going to happen on "flat wood" unless your tire trailer is not actually a tire trailer, and just an empty bed. Even so, it wouldn't be anything significant at all. You don't accidentally wind up with 100 lb of lift on a trailer unless you're towing it at a 30 degree angle at 100 MPH or something. Even if you mounted a massive wing on your trailer, and configured it to create 100 lb of lift at 80 MPH, causing the trailer to go very light and start moving around a bit more, it doesn't weigh anywhere near enough to have any meaningful impact on the vehicle's direction of travel.
