And depending on the year of your truck the brake fluid could be low.

If the brake is released, the fluid is topped and the light is still on then check the switch/wire on the brake assembly. The default position is on!

If low on brake fluid, might not be a bad idea to find out why it dropped from the last time you checked it. Usually all the fluids get checked whenever you do an oil change.

Yup^^^^^^keep an eye on it. Could be nothing or could be a leaky caliper or wheel cylinder.
