Battery. Starter wire. Ground. Something like that. Not enough juice making it to the starter to kick it over. Could be that sitting over night is enough for the battery to "catalyize" enough juice to turn it over once in the morning.

Take it in and have them check the battery with a scope or a battery hydrometer (about $3 at a auto parts store for a hydrometer gradiated for lead/acid batteries).

My neighbor called AAA and they came out with a battery checker and said the battery was working 100%...but that was after the truck had sat for over an hour.
