Default New motor break-in questions.

Hey everyone,
recently built a 2006 5.3 LM7 for my avalanche. Currently in the process of breaking in the new motor and had a question about it. Right now I only have 40 miles on it but will need to drive it 30 minutes back and forth on the highway. Is it safe to do so this low of miles before the 500 mile break in? How soon should I change the oil before hand? Thanks in advance!
