Even Distribution

[Brian Milby]

It was already mentioned somewhat, but you need some sort of weight metric for each job.  Save the “smallest” job.  For each driver, assign the largest and smallest job remaining.  When done, add the weight for each driver and give the remaining job to the one with the least work.

Thanks,
Brian
