Interesting theory that if Uber and other similar platform companies are right that they have on-boarded independent contractors and not employees, then they are enabling the contractors to engage in price fixing/horizontal coordination: https://jalopnik.com/the-legal-argument-that-could-destroy-uber-1834790506 …
In a way that is different from att allowing truckers to communicate and this form a pricing cartel? Not preventing price coordination is not the same as engaging in it.

Does AT&T automatically help truckers raise their rates when there are fewer of them in a given area?

Nah, but that's also not a cartel. That's just a simple supply and demand function.
