Exactly why should the sign be in pounds? Maybe that stuff isn't taught in school any longer, but I learned in elementary school that 1 ton equals 2,000 pounds. I also learned how to multiply while in elementary school.
It's pretty simple to multiply 6 x 2000.
And by the way, I doubt she knew how many pounds her rig and cargo weighed anyway.

Wouldn't happen if the sign was in pounds as it should be..or did US adopted metric system already? :)
Many years back when Canada started using metric I remember an airline pilots who miscalculated on fuel and run out half way into the trip..
No harm done except for some bruised ego and bent landing gear as even the big jets can glide quite a ways and land safely..
