You could add a delay task to the tasksequence, or add the transporter to a timetable where it's off_shift when the model starts.
It sound's like you have no knowledge of creating the tasks sequence in which case I think you're using a standard option which does it automatically for you (I can tell since you don't post your model). If you only want them to wait at time zero for a period and then proceed as normal then a timetable is your best option.
However if that's not the case or for your interest you want to try manilpulating task sequences then here's some more information:
The answer on how to add a delay depends how you're creating the task sequence, automatically, via a trigger/picklist, using process flow.There's a tutorial section in the manual on getting task executers to perform tasks here, and here are some key concepts.
If you were to create them in code then here's the reference for that which includes the delay task.
