Simply riding with a driver isn't going to get you experience - you actually have to BE a driver to gain experience. You could learn a couple things riding along, sure, but for experience, you need to spend time behind the wheel yourself.
That depends on the exact nature of the job, the company they work for, and how much experience they have. There are three classes of CDL, and hundreds of job descriptions which go along with them. Thus, there are hundreds of corresponding pay scales which go along with the different jobs. There is not one answer which can possibly blanket all of them.
