I see plenty of no answers,, but I know of no law that says it is illegal. Since everyone say no.. I would like to know the law that say you can't.
I'll get thumbs down for this answer.. but you thumbs downers tell me the law.

The answer to this question is no. Very simply, the cargo area of a box truck is not considered a passenger compartment and so therefore you can't have passengers riding there.

Specifically, there are laws (each State will be different) that stipulate that there must be a permanent seat fixture with seatbelts for every passenger in a motor vehicle. Also (just on a common sense note), there's no ventilation back there - why would you want to sit there?

It is legal but at the same time, any accidents would be the owner and or drivers responsibility.
