starting issues

ok,went out to my truck and tried to start it.....nothing,no turn over nothing. so i checked my fuses all good,crawled under truck,solenoid was loose,so i took my starter off,tightened the solenoid down,tested the starter..all checked out.
but it still wont crank,batteries are fully charged.
any suggestions?
i used jumpercables from my truck batterys and it turned over just fine
