Yes, if all
1) have proper restraints/seat belts
2) are permitted by the carrier. If you are the carrier, no issues.
3) the person in the jump seat, must log on duty if a loggable driver. I believe there is an allowable 2 hour off duty provision in the latest regulation.
I don’t believe any major carrier will approve this in today’s climate. Too much liability and chance of distraction.

Any passenger must be approved by the carrier in advance. Some will have age limits.
Many will require you to buy passenger insurance.
And, I believe you’re required to have written authorization from the carrier to show carrier approval to any interested authorities.
Know your passenger. If they’re holding, you’re holding.
I once loaded a shipment and the crew slipped some personal luggage into the load. Said they didn’t wanted to drag it through the airport.
I noted it on bill and notified carrier. I still worried that there may be stuff in the suitcases they may not want Airport Security to find.

You call it group sex.
Where I’m from it’s just called being neighborly.
