Is there a law on passengers being in the trailer of a semi tractor-trailer while driving?

Typically, passengers are not allowed to ride in trailers, period. In the case of an 18 wheeler, I don't believe the FMCSR covers it, although state law would. Even if a particular state had no law against it, no trucking company is going to allow it, namely because of the liability involved, especially in the case of a loaded trailer, where the risk of falling objects is present.
There are times that exceptions may be made to this law - a somewhat famous photograph taken during the blackout in NY shows a Swift flatbedder hauling pedestrians across the George Washington Bridge. New York authorities did not cite the driver, and the city of New York even thanked the driver - however, the company fired the driver for it.
