Help!!!!! My Truck won't start

Long story short. Truck starts when i leave work. Truck starts when i need to move it out of the way. Truck won't start when i try to go grab a bite to eat. all in same day. I turn the key and nothing, the engine won't even turn over. all i hear is a clicking noise coming from the fuse box. The battery tested good. I checked the FPDM and that is working (put mine on my brothers truck). Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

How did you check the battery?

Check and clean your battery terminals and cable connections. Make sure your ground cable has good, clean contact where it's grounded to the body. And check your starter connections for the same.
