DoboraL, we moved to TV from Champaign, so we have traveled that route before. When we were evaluating how to move our household, the mountains near Chattanooga eliminated "Mike will rent a truck and drive it himself" from our list.

We have also traveled the Nashville-Birmingham-Montgomery-Dothan-Tallahassee route. I don't remember the mountains being as bad. In fact, I don't remember mountains at all.

From my limited knowledge of geography, you may need to head west before heading south. Maybe go I57-I55-I10. I haven't traveled this route.
I did that route, it has those huge hills, that to me are mountains..I don't mind going further West in order to make this trip. Just not mountains.
