With that stretch, and others like it around town, the concrete was poured in sections that are near the length of longer wheelbase trucks, or at least that's my guess. It's almost unnoticable in big cars or regular sized trucks, but in longer trucks it's very noticable. First time I noticed it was when I was driving one of my work trucks for the first time, which was an F-350 crewcab longbed 4WD. The truck bounced up and down so bad that I actually got off the freeway and inspeced the axles and suspension. It wasn't until I found nothing wrong with the truck and realized that it rode fine on other roads that I realized the problem wasn't the truck, but the length of the concrete sections.
Try paying attention to what roads your on and if they're blacktop (poured continuously) or concrete (poured in sections). I'll bet that's all it is. If so, then the only solution is to take other roads or ignore it.
Let me know what you think, as I'm curious now.
