Bryson,
The gable trusses with vertical studs are basically just a wall so you can drill them wherever you need to. If you have to remove a vertical stud, just add another stud on both sides
to support the loads from above.
The blocking panels are only in there as a requirement from the EOR. They aren’t needed for the trusses, as they just there for shear transfer. If you drill through those, they are
have effectively lost all their capacity to resist shear so they are the same as if you removed the whole blocking panel. It is ultimately up to the EOR to approve the removal of a
blocking panel for MEP. I will say that I have never had an engineer care if a few blocking panels have been removed for MEP, etc. As the truss manufacturer, I don’t have any objection
to the removal of some blocking panels.
Respectfully,

Will you send me an email giving the okay to remove certain roll blocks and drill through the gable trusses. I can't remember if that's their exact name but it's the truss with only
verticals bracing.
