Help!!!Starting issue

Ok guys here is the deal. I have been having a really hard time starting my truck. Most mornings when I go out and it doesnt matter if it is plugged in or not but when I go to start it the engine cranks but at the same time I am getting a clicking sound, and everytime i hear the clicking noise the truck will not start. But if i let off and then try to start it again if it doesnt click it will start. It also does this when say I pulled up to the bank and my truck is at normal operating temp I shut it off so I can talk to the teller then when I go to start it it does the whole clicking thing and wont start. Any Ideas????????Thanks in advance

I agree with Barry, but I would start with checking all of the battery connections, as well as starter connections..
