What Do I need To Do To Get My 4 Year Old To Stop Hitting?

My 4 year old son goes to daycare and to preschool, he is having alot of trouble with hitting the other kids. I am at a lose for what to do. I rarely ever spank him him and in no way am I ever excessive in spanking. I have tried talking to him and telling him that hitting will not be tolerated. He never gives a good reason for the abuse. He will say because tey were bothering him, or i don't know. His father and I have joint custody therefore live in seperate homes. So we actually split the week. I have him during the days and half of the nights in the week. I don't know why he is acting this way. If it's attention, how do I, as a parent, deal with this situation? The teacher and the daycare providers all tell me it is happening for no reason. I'm concerned that they are not seeing whats happening before the abuse to know what is triggering it. I don't want to have my son abusing other peoles children. Please help me out, I need all the advice I can get.
I'll add some other information about our situation. I pick my son up from his dad on Sunday night at 8pm and he goes to bed about 930. He has school at 9am, so he gets up at about 8am. He stays with me until Wednesday at 4pm. Thats when he goes back to his dads. His dad says he puts him to bed at 830pm at night and he gets up at 630am. Then he gets dropped of at daycare at 8am. I then pick him up from daycare at 10am on Thursday morning. He goes back to his dads at 4pm on Thursday. On Friday morning he again gets up at 630 am and gets dropped off at daycare at 8am. Then at 9am he goes straight from daycare to preschool until 11am. Thats when I pick him up. His preschool teacher says Friday is by far his worst day, he only goes to school Monday, Wednesday, Friday. So that is a little about our schedule. Please Please help me out with this.
