the answer to your question is that it totally depends on the specific verbiage of the one call law in your state. All states' laws are written differently and the only one that applies to you is the one that is on the books in your state. The laws in most states do allow you to dig once you have received positive response from all operators in your area, but your state may be the exception.
Many states do require two full working days' notice not including the day that you call in...and that is what it sounds like your state requires.
If you don't wait until the deadline, and you cut something, you will be liable even if they marked incorrectly. better wait until your ticket is valid than risk having to pay for damaged fiber or something like that.

It's all about keeping you safe and free of any liability. The companies to be notified are listed on your ticket. However, some companies have more than one type of utility, e.g., Entergy has both gas and electric. If you dig before the 48, you are taking safety risk and assuming liability fo damages and possible fines.

72 business hours from the morning after you call.
Call today, your 72 hours starts tomorrow morning and locates would be good Wednesday morning

So how deep are the utilities buried?

That's why you pay for homeowner's insurance
Suppose you hit a waterline, causing sudden flooding of the street. Then some jackass comes flying down the road, hits the water, spins out, goes off the road, hits a house, car catches fire, burns the house down and kills the driver and an occupant of the house.
How much liability does your homeowners insurance consist of?

You would have to file bankruptcy even if you did call 811

It’s a blanket policy for safety. You might know, but usually John Doe doesn’t.
