I get frustrated easily. Tonight, my truck stopped at an intersection and would not start. I call roadside assistance for a tow truck and after several calls and being put on hold too many times, they said there was no tow truck available. Funny how I found some available. Anyway, I remembered I had a battery boosted behind the seat and I hooked it up to my battery. The truck started and I drove home. So now either the battery is toast or the alternator. I will find out tomorrow. It just makes me mad when you pay for a service and the provider doesn't do their job.
More than anything make sure it's not just a loose battery cable. I is more than likely the alternator though since the battery is only used on the initial start, so if it died while running it's because the alternator failed and drained the battery. A bad alternator can kill a good battery and vice versa, so please monitor both.

Thanks Scott, turns out I did need a new alternator, enjoy your evening!
