Narrative:
Taxied to gate at pit. This is a self parking gate (line up lights). I parked and then took my flight kit to operations. I was on my way to the hotel when the F/a told me the outgoing captain would not take the airplane because it had hit a truck. I went back to plane, found maintenance supervisor there. The supervisor said I had done everything right. I was on centerline and on the right stop line for medium large transport and that maintenance had parked the truck outside the yellow boundary line. There was just some paint on the left engine. This was all I noticed that happened to aircraft.
