Why is the fossil record not full of transitional fossils?

Wouldn’t species always be evolving? Example: Why do we find a couple of dozen T-Rex skeletons and not all the evolving stages that lead to the T. Rex over millions of years? And are those specimens classified as different species?

I think this used to be explained by punctuated equilibrium, which is possibly true in some cases, but as others have said, there are transitional forms.
