This really has no idea what he is talking about.
While truss manufacturers will do some business "churning out the same
stuff" for subdivision builders, they also do a substantial amount of
work for custom built homes that are one-off projects.
As one who had to source out a truss manufacturer for our custom built
home with some rather unique roof components, they most certainly do
have this sort of capability.
Now, whether they would bother with looking into an alteration issue
as the original poster has, is a whole different question.
