Wiring of a compressor?

So how do ya'll wire up your compressors. Mine just has the power wire ran into the cab on a toggle switch and It blew a fuse last night and Im pretty sure its because the wire gets too hot because its so long. Ive heard of using the big starter relay from an old ford. Ive got one similar but cant get it to work.

I used two of those on two old school Thomas comps on the last truck and they work fine.
