Preheating a roasting pan?

Is this a thing to do? I saw something somewhere that was saying how you should be preheating oven pans that you'd be roasting in. When i do a roast veggie dish, especially like carrot or other root stuff, i always mix it in the pan and then put in the cold pan. Does it make sense to heat up the pan in the oven and then go in with it?

I have two large hotel pans that i usually do roasted veg in, and some other pans as well. What's the deal?
