These $175/hr positions aren't as glorious as one might expect, I'm sure.
10-14 day stints doing 12 hours per day. You're going to be dead tired at 10-14 days.
You'll most likely be living in a hotel, not fun. Unless you snag a nice suite with a kitchen, you'll be eating out every meal. Not healthy.
You'll need to do 30-45 minutes of hard cardio work 4-5 days a week.
You will be renting a car unless the location is 2-3 hours from your home.
You will be paying the 7.65% FICA payroll tax
You need to buy your own health, dental and life insurance
You need to acquire the services of a CPA or good bookkeeper and you'll need to incorporate as an LLC and pay quarterly taxes
You really need to have the services of a financial advisor/planner and have them managing your money. While you are making this kind of money, they need to be putting away money for retirement, a second account for new cars/etc., and a third account for major household expenditures.
This is a young, single person's game. Much like traveling welding/pipe fitting jobs.
