Compressor recycling?

At the start of the day when I first start the truck and turn on the A/C, the compressor will kick on and blow nice A/C...for about 10 seconds and then disengage for 10 seconds and then engage on again. It does this until the truck starts moving and then it'll blow really cold air. If I stop moving, it stays cold and the compressor remains working.

Could my e-fans be related to this? I read that the condenser has to have air blowing through it...well if I think about it my fans don't turn on when I first start out, but if I stop, the fans are on (with the warmed up engine). How does the clutch sense if the condenser has air blowing through it?
