Encoders on Drive Motors?

Hi everybody,
So when we drive our team's prototype chassis, which has 6 wheels and a 2 motor drive, if we run both of the motors full speed straight forward, one side tends to be faster than the other, resulting in the robot trajectory actually curving instead of going straight. I was going to put encoders on both the motors in order to make sure that both sides were running at the same speed, but I don't know the labview code that I would use to do that. Could anybody show me an example of using encoders for that task?
Thanks,
Team #2367
