A "little" longer ??
Traffic on any give road is NOT the same all the time.
This is especially true for large metro areas like Atlanta and Charlotte to a slightly lesser degree.
IF....you avoid morning and evening rush hours, the traffic on 75/85 right THROUGH Atlanta shouldn't be too bad. My daughter lives there; done it MANY times.
Edit: That wouldn't be my preferred route anyway. Put it into Google Maps. The suggested "western" route goes through Chattanooga, the eastern one down 95 to I-10. Parts of 95 are in bad shape but that probably would be my choice. That's how I get from central Florida to Charlotte twice a year.
