The flattest route would probably be:

I-65 to Mobile.
I-10 to I-12 to I-55
I-55 north to I-80
I-80 across the lake plain to I-75.
I-75 south to Cincy.

Once out of Georgia and Alabama, this keeps you on coastal plain, Mississippi flood plain, or glacial lake plain until you have to get back into the rolling hills of southern Ohio.

More direct routes (across Tennessee, Kentucky, southern Illinois, Indiana or Ohio) will take you through at least rolling hills with grades of 4-6% that are at least a couple hundred yards long. But you can't even get out of Atlanta without going through that.

I-75 may be shorter and flatter, however you will probably encounter more traffic. The only major grade you will encounter on I-24 is Mt. Eagle, about half way between Chattanooga and Nashville. It's 6 percent grade for about five miles up and five miles down. We tow over it all the time with no issues. I-65 north of Nashville through Kentucky is hilly,but mostly flat.

I 75 all the way. These hills are not bad at all.
