Question: How many pounds did Sue Newell transport during her first shipment?
Evidence: first shipment refers to Min(ship_date); pounds refers to weight

SQL:
SELECT T1.weight FROM shipment AS T1 INNER JOIN driver AS T2 ON T1.driver_id = T2.driver_id WHERE T2.first_name = 'Sue' AND T2.last_name = 'Newell' ORDER BY T1.ship_date ASC LIMIT 1
