Grinding noise

I'm trying to find out why my truck has a grinding noise on the passenger side when my truck first starts driving for the first 1/4 mile. It stops after that or when I apply the brakes. Do I have a brake sticking or something more serious? Thanks in advance!

probably brake pad related since it goes away with the brake........ I would remove the wheel / tire and turn by hand early one morning to see where the noise is.. I assume if you bump the brake caliper and center on the disc, the noise stops.... look at the pad/ disc / caliper slides.
