If the table is used 24x7 are you sure you can in fact truncate the table without losing data that has not been processed?
With 10g the new DDL_WAIT_FOR_LOCKS parameter, which is listed as being session alterable, might be of interest. You should be able to make the truncate wait instead of issuing an immediate 00054 error.
