My truck ran fine up until I got to work, now it wont start it seems like it's not getting any fuel. Any suggestions on where to start or what could be the problem?

Good afternoon,

Can you hear the fuel pump run when you turn the key on?

When you crank it, does the tachometer move up a little?

Did you check for spark?
