Narrative:
Upon arrival at bos gate X terminal Z aircraft struck a truck a few ft short of the stop point. There were 2 wing walkers. I was directed forward until I felt the aircraft strike something. There were no lines painted on the ground for me to indicate if the truck was out far enough. Before the left wing struck the truck view was obstructed from cockpit by the jetway.
