interior wall
(OP)
I have a interior wall I want to pen up thats in the center of the trusses Not on the end of the house.. It looks like the wall is under whats called the bottom chord?? Does the bottom chord support anything if I remove the 20ft span of wall will it fall or no weight??I can send pics if it helps I really appreciate in advance.

Other than that - it needs to be checked!!
Also - look under the wall. If it is NOT setting on an I-beam it is probably not a load bearing wall - UNLESS the designer did some tricks.
Suggest you hire your local structural engineer for a look/see. We have to eat, too!!!

I have done things in less than an hour. Say you have a good customer that has 10 carpenters on the job and NEED help. Well carpenters here go out for about $65.00 - $70.00 per hour or so. You do the math!!
