pull up
If we are standing in the driveway, where he will pull up when he does finally arrive, I find "he should be here now" (or C, above) to be odd. Using "now" (not "by now") when you know he is not doesn't mix -- to me!
What does the underline expression mean? i.e. pull up and what he will pull up?

"Pull up into the driveway" is a reasonably common thing to say (at leastin, in my corner of the U.S.), as is "The bus pulled up to the curb" or "Pull up near the door."
It specifically relates to a motor vehicle.
