The operating authority is granted by the US Dept of Transportation and also the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration). They are two separate numbers. Some states require a state DOT # if you pickup a load and deliver that load within the same state. Not all states require this. Operation in each state is granted by a permit thru the Single State Registration system for your state (assuming they are participants) and each state you want to operate in. Not all states participate in the SSR and those that don't may require you to purchase a permit when transporting thru their state.

For more info go to the following websites:

http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/safety-security/eta/index.htm

http://li-public.fmcsa.dot.gov/

http://www.dotauthority.com/faqs.htm

http://www.usdotnumberregistration.com/

http://www.safersys.org/

http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/safety-security/eta/index.htm

Also search this website. Every topic related to starting in this business has been covered on this site in much detail with much discussion. If these sources don't tell you what you want to know then it probably is not worth knowing.

This should start your education process.

Blessings.
