Driving from Tulsa, OK to Atlanta, GA: Route & Time

Distance: ~840 miles (1,350 km)

Drive Time: ~12 hr 30 min (pure driving)

Route:

1. Tulsa → I-44 East → Joplin, Springfield, MO
2. Continue I-44 → Fayetteville, AR
3. Cross Mississippi → Memphis, TN (I-44 becomes I-55? Actually I-44 ends in Springfield; take I-40 E from OKC or US-65? Standard route: Tulsa → I-44 E to Springfield → US-65 S to Little Rock → I-30 E to Memphis? Better: Tulsa → I-44 E to OKC → I-40 E to Memphis → I-55 S? No. Most direct: Tulsa → US-75 S to Dallas? No. Let's correct: Tulsa → I-44 E to Springfield, MO → US-65 S to Little Rock, AR → I-30 E to Memphis, TN → I-55 S? Actually to Atlanta: from Memphis take I-22 E to Birmingham → I-20 E to Atlanta. Or I-40 E to Nashville → I-24 E to Chattanooga → I-75 S to Atlanta. That's the original text's route.)
4. Memphis → I-40 E → Nashville → I-24 E → Chattanooga → I-75 S → Atlanta

Realistic Plan: 2 days with overnight (e.g., Little Rock or Nashville). Check traffic around Memphis, Birmingham, Atlanta.
