I drove in the oilfield pulling a tanker for a couple of years.
We hauled all different kinds of fluids; fresh water, pit water, flowback, drilling mud, diesel, pit water, etc...
The hours can be very long and the work can be dirty and nasty. Coveralls will help some, but you'll still get soaked to the bone if you unhook a hose wrong or screw something up. (which happens almost every day!) I considered it a good day if my girlfriend would let me into the house without making me strip naked on the porch first.
Be prepared to work in all kinds of weather outdoors. The summertime can be nice, sitting on the back deck and enjoying the view while you are loading or unloading. Then winter comes along and you are back there in 40 below zero weather, loading and unloading. Yes, water is hauled even at 40 below zero... get used to humping frozen hoses and fighting ice.
The hours are unpredictable and vary widely for the most part. If you happen to be sucking a pit dry and hauling it off to the water treatment facility you might get lucky and work daylight hours. Get used to that for a week or so and then you'll have to go service a frac job, which run 24 hours until they are done and they cannot run out of water under any circumstance. You'll be there for most if not all of it... long, long days... get into the habit of carrying extra food and drink because you never know how long you'll be out there or when you'll be called off of a 'regular' job to fill in somewhere else and be there until the next day or longer.
Don't expect that you'll be able to swing by the local convenience store between runs or on the way to a job. The closest place might be 60 miles away in the wrong direction.
Yeah, there's HOS... not. You work when the work is there, period. Your boss won't want to hear it and the Company Man definitely doesn't want to hear it. He expects trucks to be there and be ready. The fastest way to get kicked off of a location is to bitch about being there. Good for you to go home and get some sleep, bad because whoever you work for will never work for that company again, and you will never work in that area again.
The money can be awesome if you get with a decent company. Most places have decent equipment, it's usually required by the companies they sub-contract to.
If you hire on with one of the fly-by-nighters, all bets are off, including if your check will clear the bank.
It's certainly not all bad. Only some of the days truly suck.
