Your questions isn't cut and dry and would depend on the type and number of trucks being used.24 hours would not be unrealistic.
As far as the reefer that too will depend on several factors including the skill of the operators,the checker-the checker counts the number of skids and the number of boxes on each skid for accuracy..If QC/QA is involved then unloading will wait until the tests is complete and QA/QC gives the needed approval for unloading the car.
The scrap yard would need around 30 minutes for each car.
The beverage dealer would need about a hour to unload either a 50' or 60' boxcar.
Here's the rub..There are OSHA and company safety rules that must be followed and unloading is never based on speed but,safe unloading procedures.This includes chocking the cars wheels,ensuring the handbrake is set and securing the dock plate on the car's door guide after you remove the seal and open the door(s).Then one you begin the unloading you need to jockey the motor(forklift) in and out of the car due to the tight space.
