As you know fire truck tanks are baffled to help reduce slosh, ours is baffled into 4' x 4' sections. I seriously doubt want your experiencing is caused by water slosh.
I have experienced the bucking motion you described in our old Mack tanker and in my F-450 when pulling my GN trailer over rough roads.
