you might have a valve seal that is leaking, and when the truck sits for long periods of time, it allows oil to accumulate in the cylinder. When you changed the oil, it might have dis=lodged whatever caught in the seal.
Keep an eye on it for a couple weeks.
sounds like you are lucky.

When oil burns it creates blue smoke not white. White smoke is essentially steam and is a result of heated water. So unless he is misdiagnosing the color of the smoke, it is coolant that is getting into a cylinder and not oil.
