Narrative:
On jan/xy/99, I taxied xyz, a BE1900D to the deice pad for air carrier airlines at mke. The deice truck instructed me to shut down the left engine to deice. I did and they deiced the left side. They then said to start the left and shut down the right. I did and they deiced the right side. They then radioed the deice information and said to start the right engine. They then drove the truck around in front of the plane and out of sight on the left. They then radioed that I was clear to taxi from the pad. Due to snow on ramp and in air, and glycol on window, visibility out the sides was limited. I taxied forward following the taxi line, and the left wing hit the rear of the deice truck, with slight damage to the left wingtip. The deice truck was white, the ramp was covered with snow, and the wing was white. After the impact the aircraft was shut down and the 4 passenger shuttled back to the gate. Maintenance inspected the aircraft and I taxied it to the gate. This was a new deice pad, with new procedures for both pilots and deice crews. After the incident several changes were made to the procedures.
