I am concerned if a line develops a leak, the pump would run an I might not know for days. Maybe kill the batteries, or burn out the motor. Best to have it off when the truck is off in my opinion. If it does develop a leak, I would hear the pump when I start it and know to take a look.
My air bags are left at 10psi unless my camper is on it. I don't see any reasonable way a leak could occur that would cause the pump to run continuously and I not know about it since it's parked right in my driveway.
But since you are concerned, maybe wire in an on/off switch to your dash that controls an always-on power source. Have the switch with a light so you don't forget to turn it off. Here's one I've found works for such needs;

I like it because it requires a round, not a square hole to mount it. Much easier to just drill a hole than file out a square one.
