Yes, you could have the trans switched to third gear and start out in third. For a pulling truck this may, or may not, be a big deal.
My personal preference is to have the converter locked once the RPMs hit 2400-2500 and then keep it locked form there. Some folks prefer to start out in 1st, and some in 2nd. It seems a little easier to spool in first, but maybe that's just me.
Hope this helps.
