Architects and engineers are pretty good at specifying a floor that won't collapse, but I haven't found too many of either that have a friggin' clue about deflection.
That said? Trusses, TJIs, LVLs, and other such things are way in my past.
Curious who supplied your trusses Brian? If your project had been 5 or 6 years ago, I probably would have been bidding on the job (if you looked at all the local suppliers.)
