Default minor starter issue

for about the past week my truck has been having a lil starting issue once a day and the same time it always happens when i try to start it to head home after work. what happens is i turn the key and it slightly hesitates then starts barly and as this happens my gauges in the truck all sputter at zero for 5 sec then move into the right possition. just curious if this happens to anyone else

that doesnt mean it has the voltage or amps that it should, just because its 6 months old doesnt mean it cant be bad, thats why they come with warranties, check it and then i would check the connections to eveything else
