I had issues like that with company trucks years ago. According to the mechanic, the drive tires don't always wear evenly front to back, so the small difference in tread depth causes them to rotate at slightly different speeds, and for some reason 50-60 mph is the range that they experienced "tandem hop". Not sure of the "why". They rotated tires, and it didn't help, but when they put new "maypops" on my truck, it went away for 100-150k, but once the tires had some wear, it came back. And this happened with more than one truck I have driven as well. The only way to avoid it, I guess, is to drive a truck with 1 drive and 1 tag like some companies have gone to in recent years.
