Well, an airliner goes 800k/h :-) So it's 3 hours out of 14... that's more than a business day. Once in my life was working for TNT in Hungary which had their own jet plane and there was a shipment each day. DHL had a turboprop liner and they also had one transfer per day -- I remember for that monster as made such a noise you have to wear an ear protection. Anyway, by the time the plane arrived everything was well organised so that the workers could quickly pack the stuff to the trucks and within 1-2 hours each truck left the airport -- and it usually included the customs process as well. I suppose in a larger country like USA those companies have many more let's say 2 or 3 turns a day per company and I may wrong on this but inside US you do not have to pay customs or other taxes so you do not need to fill out forms/tags or such?
