AC is F-ing up. Help Please

99 F250 Super Duty 7.3

Recently charged my AC and it works fine UNTIL- I get going down the highway (60 mph) then it starts blowing warm air. When I turned off the highway the compressor kicked on again and worked for a little bit, then quit again. When I parked it here at home I opened the hood to see the compressor was not working at all. Later, I went out to see if would work. Turned on the AC, and it took a few seconds for the compressor to kick on, then it stayed on like it should, then after it had been running for a while it kicked off for a few seconds every so often, which I think is normal, right? So what can it be? Relay? Compressor? Clutch? Help please!

is the compressor supposed to kick off occasionally? As to keep the evaporator core from freezing up completely?
