Watch These Ladies Pull a Truck in High Heels

Wearing high-heeled shoes, six women pulled a truck on a rope at AACC Thursday.

The second annual truck pull at Anne Arundel Community College on Thursday was capped off with a unique team: Hell on Heels.

The team, composed of six women employed by the AACC Foundation, pulled a FedEx truck on a rope over the finish line—all while wearing high-heeled shoes.

The truck pull is an event hosted by the community college's transportation department to promote classes and integration with related jobs. The pull itself is mostly for fun, but they do keep track of how each team performs.
