A control system for determining a location of loading of a machine operating at a worksite is provided. The control system includes a controller coupled to a dump switch. The controller receives a dump signal and velocity data associated with the machine. The velocity data includes a speed of the machine at various positions along a route followed by the machine from a first dump location to a second dump location. The controller identifies the first dump location, the second dump location, and a plurality of stops made along the route. The controller estimates, a first distance and a second distance between the stop and each of the dump locations. The controller estimates a baseline distance between the dump locations and assigns a weighting factor to the stops. Further, the controller determines a load location from the plurality of stops based on the assigned weighting factors.
