since you work for the contractor not the moving company he may not be covered by the federal labor laws, they are based on gross revenues and if the business is involved in intrastate business.
http://www.dol.gov/elaws/esa/flsa/scope/screen10.asp
so then the question of state coverage comes into play and in Missouri they use the same guide which is the business must do more then $500,000.00 in gross revenue a year.
http://www.dol.gov/esa/minwage/america.htm#Missouri
what this employer is doing may be legal but to find out for sure you need to contact the states department of labor at:
Division of Labor Standards
(573) 751-3403
EDIT:
Danigirl failed to read the link, the law clearly states that overtime must be paid "IF" the employer is covered.
Judy correctly stated "IF" the employer is covered.
as noted you are employed by an independent contractor and it is highly likely this contractor does not do more then $500,000.00 a year in gross revenue. |

It's not Missouri's law, it's federal. If you are an employee covered under the federal wage and hour law, and it sounds like you probably are, then time and a half is required for hours over 40 a week.
See http://www.dol.gov/dol/topic/wages/overtimepay.htm |

Contact the Department of Labor in your state. It may depend on the type of job or job industry. |

All 50 states require that you be paid overtime rate if you work more than 40 hours in one work week. Check with your local better business office. |
