What is the past tense of "load"?

This is what goPenpal answered

The past tense of the verb "load" is "loaded". This follows the regular verb rule in English where we add "-ed" to the base form of the verb to indicate a past action. A lot of verbs follow this rule. So, when you're holding a conversation about something that happened in the past, you'd say "I loaded the truck yesterday", not "I load the truck yesterday". Just picture yourself loading a truck in the past - "loaded" fits better, doesn't it?
