Default Having Issues Starting

So, my truck has been giving me issues every now and then when i try to start it. Lately it's been more frequently.
When I turn the ignition to start it, it just clicks.. If I turn it repeatedly it will fire eventually.. sometimes it just fires right up on the first turn.. I'm somewhat at a loss of what it could be..

Brand new batteries, terminals are all tight and clean..

any advice would be appreciated!
