It depends. If the aircraft you are flying requires a second in command, then no, you can't log PIC. Generally, most commuters operate under 121, which means that you have to be qualified under the company's ops specs to be the captain (PIC). If you're flying around in an old B-18 and the pilot elects to throw you in the left seat on the "empty legs" going home, that's a different story.
