speedometer slipping and waving

sometimes when i drive, my speedometer reading is about 2-3 mph slower then my real speed and it moves +-1 on that. though when i drive for a while it might read normal, but it always does so when i start my truck.

I don't know how old the vehicle is, but I have had many older vehicles where the grease gets dried out in the speedo head as well as the speedo cable. Lubing it up will probably help it.
