Is it okay to make a left turn at a light that has a red light for the left lane but oncoming traffic light is green?
Certainly not in Australia, New Zealand, Britain, South Africa, Japan, the West Indies and several other places. If a T.C.S. displays a red circle than no traffic facing that red circle may proceed unless a green arrow illuminates applicable to the lane that a driver is in. Exception: when directed by a Member of Police.

What does a green arrow mean?
A green arrow means that (assuming the traffic lights are not malfunctioning) it is safe to turn in the direction of the arrow, if you are in the correct lane. This is different from simply a green light, which means you may turn (if the green light is for the turn lane) but you must yield to oncoming traffic.

What is an advanced green?
An advanced green is a type of traffic light signal present in some jurisdictions in Canada, where the green light initially flashes while the matching light for oncoming traffic remains red, signalling to drivers that they may make an unobstructed turn across the oncoming lane while the flashing continues.
When you come to an left turn green arrow and it turns but the main light is green do you have to wait for the green light to come on again?
If you are referencing the "green arrow" to come on again, no, but you are suppose to "yield" to oncoming traffic, especially, more than likely, they have a green light to go. For example, if you are heading north in the north lane and a car is heading south on the south lane, but gets in the turning lane to make a left turn and there is no green arrow but their light is green, it is legal to turn, but you have to yield to oncoming traffic, make sure oncoming traffic is clear before you go out in the road. If not, it could cause a major accident.Added to clarify: If the green left arrow goes out and is replaced by a red left arrow or a red bullseye clearly meant to control the left turn lane, THEN you must wait until the next green arrow in order to make your turn.

It depends on the speed of the oncoming traffic and how fast the truck is traveling. To pass a truck at 60 mph with oncoming traffic, you need enough distance to safely move into the oncoming lane, pass the truck, and then merge back into your lane. It's essential to ensure you have clear visibility and enough space to complete the pass safely.
Do I HAVE to make a right on red if it is safe to do so?
you do not have to, and can wait for the light to turn green, if you so wish, or don't feel that it is safe to do while your light is red. One example might be times when your view of oncoming traffic in the lane you're turning into is obstructed, and you cannot be certain that you're clear and safe to make your turn. In such an instance, it is recommended that you wait for a green light before executing your turn.
