Maybe I’m misunderstanding but if you just want to divide the jobs you could have a counter for the current driver and after assigning a job you increase the counter and wrap it when you exceed the number of drivers.
If you’re looking for a more fancy job division algorithm you should take a look at the classical traveling salesman problem but with multiple drivers. And even with one driver this is a tricky solution. If you are building an app that really needs a good solution for the vehicle routing problem you can maybe wrap the optaplanner Java library. (optaplanner.org) Good luck!
