May be able to find some that are kdat. Kiln dried after treatment. Basically stick it in the oven and pulls most of the moisture out.

There's a lumber company near me that is known for dried treated lumber, but they stick dry it, and it takes a while for that to happen after treatment under the pressures they use to infuse the wood with the chemicals.

I remember buying some 6x6's, 2x10's and a lot of 2x4's for a project from the local lumber yard. I stacked it in my shop for a couple months to get it started drying out and for the first week I was mopping up puddles under it.
