Mehmet,

Looks like you made a typo:

  var LastTenMin= new Date(nowDate.getFullYear(), nowDate.getMonth(), nowDate.getDate(),nowDate.getHours(),nowDate.getMinutes(),- 10);

Should be (note the comma):

  var LastTenMin= new Date(nowDate.getFullYear(), nowDate.getMonth(), nowDate.getDate(),nowDate.getHours(),nowDate.getMinutes() - 10);

Also you were trying to create a new date object from a date object, this is incorrect:

 new Date(LastTenMin)

And here is a more complete solution:

var nowDate= new Date();
var Time1 = new Date("04/12/2013 01:03:00");
var LastTenMin= new Date(nowDate.getFullYear(), nowDate.getMonth(), nowDate.getDate(), nowDate.getHours(), nowDate.getMinutes() - 10);

// Should return true 
console.log(Time1 < LastTenMin);

// Change the year to a point in the future
Time1 = new Date("04/12/2014 01:03:00");

// Shold return false
console.log(Time1 < LastTenMin);

// So your original conditional should look like this:
if (Time1 < LastTenMin) {
    image2 = '/Images/truckOnline.png';
    status = "Truck is online."+"\n"+"Last seen:"+" "+Time1;
} else {
    image2 = '/Images/truckOffline.png';
    status = "Truck is offline"+"\n"+"Last seen:"+" "+Time1;
}

// And a more concise form:
var isOnline = !(Time1 < LastTenMin);
var image2 = isOnline ? '/Images/truckOnline.png' : '/Images/truckOffline.png';
var status = "Truck is " + (isOnline ? "Online" : "Offline") + "." + "\n" + "Last seen:" + " " + Time1

Here is the solution without comments:

var nowDate= new Date();
var Time1 = new Date(data2.LastRecordTime);
var LastTenMin= new Date(nowDate.getFullYear(), nowDate.getMonth(), nowDate.getDate(), nowDate.getHours(), nowDate.getMinutes() - 10);
var isOnline = !(Time1 < LastTenMin);
var image2 = isOnline ? '/Images/truckOnline.png' : '/Images/truckOffline.png';
var status = "Truck is " + (isOnline ? "Online" : "Offline") + "." + "\n" + "Last seen:" + " " + Time1

My whole solution is assuming that the string contained in data2.LastRecordTime is in the format: "MM.DD.YYYY HH:MM:SS".
