Sure they can. They just go on the load manifest as a passenger sitting in the right front seat. The "FO" can't log it, and can't fly, but they can get paid to sit there.
Boiler was under the assumption that most 135 operators are on the up and up and actually follow all the regulations. CFIs routinely fly right seat in King Air type a/c and illegally log it.
