Thank you all for your kind answers. I will not become a truck lover but wanted to change the "typical German" appearance to a more "typical american". To do so I will do the following modifications:
1. Is there something I have to change mandatory to meet US standards, regulations etc. for food trailers?
==> Yellow warning strips at the side
2. The top one has the little 45° tilt rectangles for warning signs. Explosive etc. and a number identifying possible dangerous load. I think I saw similar signs in the US? Are they required for food too?
==> No hazmat placards at food tankers
3. Most, even heavy, US trailers have two axis only. Should I remove one to match higher axis loads in the US?
==> Remove one axis
4. US trailers have the axises often at the very end because more space is available for wide turns. Should I move the axis to the very end?
==> Move axils to the very end
