Canadian Loggers/Truckers?

What is the term in the great white north for an aux. transmission in a big truck? Like a 5 and a 4 setup? I grew up calling them a "brownie" but I am curious what they are called in Canada...particularly in BC. Thanks!

I am keeping my eye out for a 3 speed or 2 speed version, and live just south of the border. So I check the Lower BC sites as well. Do they have another name when they are not in the truck? Combo's I know that use it are 4/2, and 4/3. They may have been used with some 3 speed transmissions also, but I do not know that for a fact.
