In the USA at controlled airports, aircraft also need explicit landing clearance.

"Jazz 646, number 2, cleared to land 4."

They did have a very explicit clearance.

The controller said “truck 1 stop” that is not ambiguous.

"stop stop stop, truck 1 stop stop stop" I mean maybe it was ambiguous for half a second but he pretty quickly said "truck 1 stop". I guess we'll have to wait for the sync up to see if it was too late to stop by then
