Is there someplace in here where I can post an image of a garage door header for opinions on code acceptance?

By member he means Sawhorse supporting member. You need that in order to upload files such as photos.
If, however, you just want to post a link to a photo, you can do that.
Welcome and I hope we can help you.

Trusses resting on 2x6 on llv on bulkhead. Many of the homes in our plan have sagging garage door headers installed like this.

How are the trusses attached?
Is this a oneoff or part of a tract of new homes?

But if there's not a problem, then why are a high number of these spans sagging?

Not by much, but definitely noticeable from the street.

What is the span length?

What do the reviewed plans show? Ask the contractor for supporting information.

Is the LVL doubled? Some of the manufacturer specs. require 2 to meet the span.
