Why does it seem easier to push a box up an inclined ramp into the back of a truck rather than just lifting it up into the back of the truck?

You do the same work in both scenarios but the power exerted is different. Since on a ramp the work is done over a longer distance the force you have to exert is decreased. Therefore, it "seems" to be easier to push a box up a ramp rather than lift it up.

Why is it easier to tip a full truck rather than an empty one?
The load in a full truck is mainly higher than the centre of gravity (COG) of the empty truck. As a result the COG of a full truck is higher. It is this than makes it easier to tip.
