They Call Me CF, Eh

I was out west, passing around the south side of Winnipeg today, when I passed a FedEx Freight RMD set bound for (I assume) Fargo.
Now, I'm aware that North Dakota allows triples, at least between Fargo and the border. I know CF ran triples back in the day and ABF runs them as well. Manitoba allows twin '53 trailers provincially, so RMD's are fine. But as far as I know, FedEx was never interested in running any kind of LCV in this lane, and certainly not the more inconvenient RMD.
Has anyone heard anything about this? The leading van was a US 490-series, not a CDN 492. Tail was a brand new "orange" P pup. One off? Experiment? Ongoing? The second truck I saw was a conventional set of doubles so it's not a full lane thing. Thoughts?
