I was doing some reseach about building sliding barn doors and found this place; Canda Plan Service
They have quite a few pdf's ranging from wood preservatives to fans to building sliding doors.

Here is another good site for building plans. Also includes plans for trusses.

Good websites but I see potential problems getting the building permit using a truss design from the internet without a set of signed and sealed (by a local structural engineer) structural calculations.

Good point Boiler:
The only time I was involved in a project like this was a add on to to a Church type building. We used site built trusses vs purchased.
We just duped what we had, but we had to show them the used glue tubes and leave the trusses exposed to show the nail patterens in the gussets before we got the OK to close it up.
It might be a little easier if it is a non-public access building. But it sure would be a good idea to ask if you can use these plans first.

I personally wouldn't use the truss off these diagrams, I would get the eng diagrams. I just posted them because alot of people just want an overview of the construction. I agree with Boiler and kbs and to would get certified truss plans.
