Default Hard upshift

So, I have a 2011 Ram 1500. Here is my current issue (of many since I bought it)...When I mash on the gas from a standstill, it takes off great. Then when it wants to shift from 1st to 2nd (its an automatic) it revs up, then sort of slams into second, sqeals the tires a bit at end of shift as well. It seems it is not sensing something properly to make a smooth shift. On the other hand, when I start off from a stop conservatively, it rolls up thru the gears perfectly, like it has enough time to think about the shift and executes it properly. No acronyms please, as I will not understand them😬
  • Any ideas of what is wrong?
  • Any ideas of what to do?
  • Any ideas of how to fix?
Please Help!

Fairly recently I had transmission fluid changed, within 15000 miles ago. That was the first thing I did when it started acting up. Truck only has 105000 total on it🤬

When is the last time the trans was serviced? I don't know if you even have any bands to adjust......
