I don't think it's normal, but my front right has the same squeek. I have about 5,000km on new breaks, so I figure I need to use some break grease on the pad contacts. I plan to do it once the snow is gone.

Sounds like the brake squealer, a little piece of metal on the pad so you know when it's time to replace them. What year truck, how many miles, how old are the pads?

Your pads are wearing down and when moisture and water get under the worn spots it will squeak bad. Time to buy a set of Metallic pads.
