I just started working for a company based in Atlanta. I’m a new driver. We’re running a 2018 International 26 ft box truck OTR. We haven’t gotten a lot of sleep seeing as our routes are long and it’s hard to sleep in the truck with no sleeper and it bouncing around. When my team drivers time runs out, I start mine. With us both being awake, I run for as long as I can before getting too tired (no possible way to sleep in this truck). So we pull over and sleep for a few hours (so my team drivers time resets) and hit the road to be on time. Is running OTR in a 26ft box truck as a team legal, my grandfather (trucking for 30+ years says no)? If it is, how to we make it work.

No it's not legal. The truck must have a sleeper berth to be legal. Or motel receipt.

I'm surprised you haven't been caught at a scale or roadside inspection. I admire your ambition but what you're doing is illegal.
