Default No oil pressure?

I just changed my oil/oil filter for my Jeep (inline 6 cylinder 4.0) which requires 6 quarts of oil.

I put in 5.5 quarts or so, and figured i could put another 1/2 quart to 1 quart in in the morning.

so I finish up, tighten everything up... and start the car; and I'm now not reading any oil pressure on the guage. I've never had a problem like this before, and hoping that my pump hasn't for some reason broken.

the dip stick test shows add, but only by the slightest of margins.

I drove her around the block, and nothing feels strange. I dont have a mechanical oil pressure guage... so i can't tell really where the problem is...

the real question I have is this:Should i be driving?

I have an some business travel about 1.5 hours away first thing in the morning.
