[I] could have cleaned my window before I told him to back up. I should have spun around first before moving back...Flight finished dicing; told my driver to back up while I started to spin; my window where fogged up couldn't see clearly; so when I went to clean my window we were close to the wing so I told my driver to stop we hit the wing.
After deicing flight; I told bucket person to spin around to face back of truck; and to give me ok to back out; confirmed to back out; after backing slowly; for a few feet; the bucket person gave me the order to stop; as I stopped; immediately at the order; I hit the plane at the precise time with the boom
Ground personnel were repositioning a deicing truck and contacted the aircraft with the boom.
