We see Mann entering Chuck's, talking the the proprieter, walking to the washroom, freshening up, having a monologue in his head, walking back into the caf, talking to Chuck again, before he looks out the window and spots the truck, then he turns around to look for the driver.
That's all in one shot, lasting nearly three minutes.

The whole sequence shot at Chuck's is brilliant. Spielberg really knows how to make you feel the character's nervousness and unease. Definitely influences from the Twilight Zone and very Hitchcockian as well.

Yep. Pretty Cool.
Steven Spielberg talked about that shot in a Documentary that was included on the DVD.
