Normally STP blocks 3 of the trunks. But if you want to load balance for ex, vlan 2, vlan 3, vlan 4 and vlan 5 pass through trunk 2, trunk 3, trunk 4 and trunk 5 respectively, you should change the spanning tree costs for each vlan on each trunk.
spanning-tree vlan 2 cost 10
You can use this command to set the cost. Alternatively you can change the port-pri too.

only one link will be STP forwarding and others would be blocking. You need
etherchannel.

Subject: Trunks & etherchannel
Suppose we have a 3550 and a 5000 switch and we configure 4 trunk ports
between them. Will traffic be load balanced across the 4 trunks without
creating an etherchannel? Assume all 4 trunks carry the same VLANS. Are we
creating a loop without the Etherchannel?
