1. A material loading system, comprising:
a receiving vehicle identification system that automatically identifies a receiving vehicle that receives material from a material loading vehicle;
a fill level detection system that automatically detects a fill level of the material in the identified receiving vehicle;
a fill data generation system that automatically generates a load count corresponding to the identified receiving vehicle, the load count being indicative of a number of times that the identified receiving vehicle has been filled with material during a load count window; and
an output generator that generates an output control signal to output the load count corresponding to the identified receiving vehicle.
