==> Yellow warning strips at the side
The standard DOT striping is red/silver. I don't think I've ever seen yellow, not even sure it is DOT approved.
May be both? jwb pointed be to that text:
The NHTSA requires that all trailers, whatever their size, have reflective strips. The rear of the vehicle must display at least two strips of red reflective tape as far apart as possible and between 15 and 60 inches from the ground. The trailer also must have similar strips on its sides as far back as possible. The regulations require two yellow reflective tape strips as far forward as possible on the side of the trailer.
