I stop at Stagecoach Well when I hear a rubbing sound and, yes, my rear wheel is rubbing against the bike frame again

I loosen my rear quick release, which seems tight, adjust the wheel's position, and remount the bike. I can't seem to get the quick release tight enough to prevent movement under the weight of a swaying full load (my rear rack is axle-mounted).
