I don't know about a custom rate but I spread a bit of broiler litter on my own land. Using a 10 ton tractor drawn spinner spreader I can spread 20-30 tons per hour from a pile in the field by myself. If I figure $75 per hour that works out to $2.50 - $3.75 per ton. I don't know if I would want to hire myself and equipment out for that rate but that's the best way for me to approximate my cost.
