Screening:

Screenings can take an unusually long time, like 4 to 6 hours.  You will be given a specific time to come in but everyone shows up at 7:00 am and they sign people up "first come, first served".  If you are coming from out of town, ask to do your physical, otherwise, local residents must come back on a different day.

The Covance in Dallas has gotten better I am told.  They will only allow you to screen at your scheduled time now instead of the previous free for all at 7 am.
