Default Squeak sound when first driving Jeep

So I can't figure this out. When my jeep has been sitting for awhile or overnight as I first drive off for the first hundred feet I get a rotation squeak noise. Like squeak, squeak, squeak. I am just rolling no brakes or gas applied and then it goes away.

Any ideas?

its surface rust on the brakes rotors. Happening mostly after washing it or a rain storm. Happens to alot of cars. After pressing the brakes to slow down the surface rust will be gone.

Your pads rest gently against the rotors especially if they are worn unevenly which also happens alot.

Was also thinking it might be a hub bearing beginning to go.

I don't think it's that unless it's the rears. I put new ones in the front 10k ago. I have seepage at the rear pinion seal, could that be it?
