"If a truck is in READY status, it is available for assignment."
"When a truck is in READY status, it is available for assignment."

convey different meanings. Or, do they?

-- cut

To me, "if" implies an element of doubt ie, the truck might never be ready.
"When" assumes it will be ready at some time.
