Hi Tony, 
The modal verb "will" indicates a full certainty of something happening in the future.This may appear to fit the meaning of the sentence, but it is redundant. This is because "when" already states that the truck will definitely arrive, and it is only a matter of time.

Example: 
When the baby wakes up, tell me.
(It is with certainty that the baby will wake up. Just tell me when it happens.)
When the baby will wake up, tell me.
(Redundant as it is a certainty.)

Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Lance
