Car Hauling

I have only had my CDL for about 8 months, but I have ended up working for a fellow who had 1 truck, and just bought another. I am very suprised that he hired me, as I have NEVER heard of a car hauling company that would take someone without at least 1 year of experience. I may be lucky to have found this job, but I do not feel like I am being paid very well. He has a 7 and 10 car hauler. What should I expect to make with so little experience? Do most pay by percentage, or cpm? Just trying to find out what is reasonable.

Percentage is pretty common. With the economy the way it is, don't expect to get rich in any way shape or form.
