I wonder how much that specific road design cause FedEx to discourage left hand turns in their routes?

I think you're thinking of UPS, and IIRC the decision is mostly to reduce waiting time/idle fuel burn. (Most jurisdictions in the US allow right-on-red and that makes this even easier to justify.)

If I go somewhere often, I like to find the "chill route" that minimizes complex left turns, even if it takes a bit longer.

Same, I don't even mind if it takes a bit longer. I am more interested in stress free driving than getting there sooner.
