Mixed steel and wood framed commercial building under construction

A commercial building under construction I saw the other day. It caught my eye because of the shoring still being up

Cool. Are the trusses top chord bearing on the steel girders? Hard to tell from the pic

Sure are. I’m amazed how weird the picture ended up looking at that point, but I took another gander since I ended up there on my lunch break again. There are a couple of pieces of lumber run horizontally on the steel beam’s flange and the top chord of the truss is on top of those boards. I think it looks so funky because there are short pieces between each chord right at the very end
