configuration with the waist belt, the
satchel must be put on first and then
loaded with mail. Carriers are required
to carry the appropriate amount of
mail, up to the 35 pound limit, to complete
each assigned relay without additional

arranging mail in the Double Satchel to
ensure the most efficient methods and
comfortable weight distribution.
