I need help fast!

I went out today and tried to start my truck. The damn thing would not start. There was nothing. I turned the ignition and just nothing. After i do that i am left with no power in the truck at all. Might i also add it fricken F-R-E-E-Z-I-N-G outside but i need my truck. I keep it plugged in but it still doesn't seem to help. Am i tripping something or what going on here?

I would check the ground to the battery. Mine used to be loose and until I figured it out, sometimes when I would try to start the car there would be nothing.

Ya thats what it was. The Ground to the battery was touching the power so when ever i tried to push it kerplop. I dbl zip tied it out the way and the motor reved to life again. I guess i should be more careful next time i replace the battery. Good battery though everything seems brighter and starts easier.
