Yes, a trailer defenetly takes some of the load. Double wheel trailers are better at this point, but beware: on loose surfaces, oyu also lose some of your braking ability, because some of the weight is now on breakless wheels. It's not that bad as it sounds, you're not going to race with this configuration anyway.
