Thank you everyone!

Where I am from "pull up on" would usually mean to come up to someone to confront them.
"We were all having a good time until Joe's ex pulled up on him out of nowhere and started yelling."

There are several definitions of the phrasal verb *pull up*. I will detail those below. However, your question about *pull up on* changes it to a phrasal prepositional verb, which does not keep the phrasal verbs' definitions.
1 . *Pull up* - to stop your vehicle at a destination or near something
> E.g. *It took us 5 hours to reach Sarah's house; we pulled up around 8pm*
> E.g. *I pulled up* ***to*** *the drive-thru window and paid for my hamburger*
2. *Pull up* - To display a text, image or chart, often as part of a presentation. Usually on a screen or projection.
> E.g. *the salesperson wasn't getting a good response from the client, so she pulled up a chart showing the impact of their service on three other businesses.*
> e.g. *I asked Simon to find out her phone number, and he pulled up a list of everyone's details from the database.*
3. *Pull someone up* (always separable) - to criticise someone for a mistake, error or fault.
> e.g. *Alan's boss pulled him up* ***over*** *some of the figures in his report, as they were from the previous year.*
4. *Pull something up* - to pull something in an upward direction.
> e.g. *When I finished sitting on the toilet, I pulled my trousers up.*
5. *Pull up + a stool / a chair / a seat* - to get a seat and come and sit down facing someone.
> E.g. *I'm going to tell you all a story. So, pull up a chair and I'll begin...*
6. *Pull up* + on (phrasal prepositonal) - same meaning as 4., but you are applying the **force** in that direction. It does not tell us whether you moved it.
> e.g. *I pulled up on the weights with all my strength, but I couldn't lift them.*

It usually means just arriving somewhere in a vehicle. "I pulled up at my friend's house in a sports car." "I pulled up at the drive-thru window."
But there can sometimes be a casual connotation of arriving somewhere dramatically.

To “Pull up on” only has one meaning and it’s to confront. Police pull up on people, exes pull up on people…

Other than the literal meanings expressed by others, where I’m located it is also commonly used as slang and can have different meanings depending on the context.
It can mean to go to or arrive some where, but I’ve also heard it used to mean like, you’re trying to confront someone to fight them or something. I would give example sentences but it’s not how I usually speak so anything I would write would probably just come across as negatively stereotypical and I’d just rather not.

The actual trio of "pull up on" isn't really used by native speakers to the point that I can't think of a sentence that would use it other than to describe literally pulling something up... so maybe...
"I pulled up on the rope to retrieve the magnet from the river."
"I told Mike to pull up on the rope to help me out."
Though in both those cases simply saying "Pulled up" or "Pull up" is sufficient and even then likely wouldn't hear "on" as part of it.
But to use Pull Up for it's non-literal meaning and more slang meaning the other poster has it right, "Hey, pull up to the gas station." or "I pulled up to the gas station."
