Not sure where you are getting the treated lumber from but the beauty of HD and Lowes is the ability to take things back. That being said, if this were a commercial job I would agree hang the $h!t as fast as you can and get out. Since this is your house I would suggest you stack the lumber and let it dry/acclimate a few weeks. If a piece twists, checks, warps take it back and get another. If you cut and hang the treated while wet it is going to shrink significantly and none of you seams will be tight. It may still twist on you.
The treating process is done using high temp high pressure. The lumber is ultra saturated. Normal moisture content is around 12-15%. The treating process can have 40% or more moisture content. It is the drying out process that causes the wood to warp due to uneven drying.
It's best to wait.
