Anderson Truss Company is a building materials manufacturer and supplier based in Alcoa, Tennessee.

Products
Anderson Truss Company offers five main product lines:
- Wood Roof and Floor Trusses: “Designed and manufactured to meet or exceed building codes,” these are custom-built to project specifications with sealed engineering. The company notes the trusses can accommodate HVAC and mechanical systems integration, reduce construction time through on-site efficiency, and are produced with minimal waste.
- I-Joist (Engineered Lumber): Stocked as “11 7/8″ 40 series I-Joist,” with allowable spans that the company says “exceed conventional framing.”
- Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL): Stocked in 11 7/8″, 14″, 16″, and 18″ depths, with pieces “up to 48′ in length and consistently true to size.” Special orders are typically delivered within two business days. The company notes engineered lumber “requires 40-50% less wood fiber than conventional framing.”
- Simpson Strong-Tie Construction Hardware: Structural connectors kept in large quantity in stock, with standard items delivered next business day and custom connectors on a 5-to-10-day turnaround.
Engineering design and quote requests are available through the company’s contact form.
About
Anderson Truss was founded in 1978 by John and Marilyn Prospero, starting with “a manual component saw, one table each for floor and roof trusses, and two additional employees.” The founders established the company to “provide customers with exceptional service and the highest quality floor and roof trusses at a fair price.” Over more than forty years, the company has grown to employ approximately 100 people across two shifts. Its office staff of 13 (covering sales, design, and production management) carries a combined 396 years of industry experience, 300 of which are at Anderson Truss, averaging 23 years of tenure per office employee. The company summarizes its approach as “Experience. Focus. Service.” Production capabilities include Alpine design software for 3D digital modeling, servo-motor-driven component saws, metal connector plate assembly, and delivery trucks equipped with specialized roller beds for job-site placement.
