It's absurd and, IMHO, potentially dangerous if all users of a frequency cannot hear all others, including those on a coupled frequency. If pilots cannot hear tugs and other vehicles on ATC frequencies it surely gives rise to QRM when two stations transmit at once but cannot hear each other?

Where I once worked, vehicle drivers received proper training from the ATC Training Unit and their discipline on "our" frequencies was impeccable.
