What to do(ran out of Fuel!!!!!!)

Yes, it’s true. I was on my damn way to get fuel and the truck started to putter. Got over to the slow lane (on interstate) and then everything died. No power, no brakes, no steering. Thank God I made it to the grass on the shoulder. I was one mile from the truck stop when I get gas at

I called triple A and had my truck towed to my mechanics. On a side note, the guy that towed my truck just picked up his tow truck last week. Brand New 2006 Ford 6500 flatbed with only 434 miles on it. My outer tires on the rear did not fit on the flatbed. Kind of funny but back to my help.

WHAT DO I DO TO GET HER RUNNING AGAIN (DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS PLEASE)!!!! I have a 2005 CTD with 15XXX miles. Once I got to the side of the road I tried to start it (dumb on my part) and it didn’t turn over at all.

PLEASE HELP!!!! Thank You.

P.S. I searched and came up no help.
