FedEx looking for shortcuts?

FedEx found a shortcut?? A run that we have done several times over the past year- from MA to CA-is suddenly 23 miles shorter (run milage not deadhead) and the dispatcher on the acct doesn't know why it changed but was able to look back and sees it changed in August. Anyone else encounter something like this?

On that many miles I would think it is improved routing.
A bypass opened or something.
If they were skimming on a trip that long, I would think they'd be inclined to skim more than 23 miles.
Have you checked the paid miles against a good truckers gps or other routing source ?
Has either stop moved ?
Let us know how it plays out.

Is this a trip where you could always beat the paid miles ?
Nobody ever complains about those.
If it is, then maybe they just got improved software on their end.
