make sure you put them near close to highway as possible. the trucks have to be able to get to it.

Power plants that need fuel will get their resupply either from the correct raw material industry in your city (ore or oil industry on the correct ressource zones), or via import from the off-map world through highways, railway cargo terminals, and cargo harbours.
As Blade said, you have to make sure that your power plants have a very good connection to the transport system that is not jammed by other traffic, so the trucks can actually get through and make their delivery regularly. Giving them a direct and mostly exclusive connection to the highway is the easiest way to do that.

When I zone a place for Oil or farming how does that work?

You can use districts to dedicate an industrial area to any type of industry, so any industry zoned in a district designated as Oil for example, will only spawn oil industry related buildings.

In addition to oil production plants there will also be oil extractors (which tbh will extract the resource far too quickly - a rebalance by the devs is required here imo; until that happens there is a mod to provide infinite resources).
If the resource has been exhausted then the extractors will will despawn, and the oil production plants will import the raw resource instead.
An overview can be found here,

That will get there automaticlly by truck. If it runs out of fuel then the trucks can't get there (in time). Check your roads for traffic and/or bad connections.
