The very first thing you should see is the oil pressure gauge start to indicate pressure. (This is assuming you have an oil pressure gauge, but all large trucks have them.) If you don't have any pressure within five seconds, turn the engine off.

Its just there to let you know that the engine is running at a normal temperature and isn't overheating. If your engine starts to overheat, you can tell then do something about it. Pull over and check, let it cool before proceeding to a garage, before it is too late and the engine is destroyed.
