Hello roadtripamerica!

I just found this site today. Awesome place!
I love driving. Especially long haul driving! My girlfriend and I are planning a trip to head to Jacksonville, FL from Birmingham, AL. I’ve done this trip two times before.

Both times, we traveled on interstate 65 south through Montgomery, connecting to highway 231 and then finally onto interstate 10 the rest of the way. I can’t complain about this route, but since I am a road tripping enthusiast, I always love trying new routes!

My question is, how is it driving through Atalanta? If I were to take Interstate 20 and connect to interstate 75 in the heart of Atlanta. I’ve never driven through Atlanta. Is there a preferred time to connect from i20 and i75? Would my best bet be to take this trip over night? Should I avoid Atlanta all together and stick to my normal route?

Thanks!
