From Chicago we’ve done 57 to 24 to 75 and 65 to 24 to 75. Taking 65 through Indiana is shorter distance by about 40 miles, but takes the same amount of time or longer than 57. No matter when you go, chances are your pinch points will be Atlanta and Nashville. Try to get through Atlanta before 6 am. Pack a lot of patience as you are going to run into traffic somewhere on the trip, and it may not be where you think it will be.
